About the HDMI high speed transmission

This player outputs 1080/50p, 1080/60p and Deep Color video signals. If your TV supports 1080/50p, 1080/60p or Deep Color signals, use a High Speed HDMI™ cable or the supplied HDMI cable in order to take advantage of the maximum performance the player and TV can offer. Also set HDMI High-Speed Transmission to On (page 110).

High Speed HDMI™ cables are tested to carry signals up to 1080p. 1080/50i, 1080/50p, 720/ 50p, 1080/24p, 1080/60i, 1080/60p and 720/60p video signals that are capable of Deep Color can also be carried.

Note

Set HDMI High-Speed Transmission to Off when using an HDMI cable other than a High Speed HDMI™ cable (a Standard HDMI™ cable).

The following restrictions apply when HDMI High-Speed Transmission is set to Off:

Deep Color signals are not output.

If output video resolution is set to Auto, the signals are output with a resolution of 1080/50i or 1080/60i when TV’s preferred resolution is 1080/50p or 1080/60p.

When the output video resolution is set to 576i/480i or 576p/480p, Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio signals are not output as such. They are either output as Dolby Digital or DTS Digital Surround signals or converted into linear PCM. Also, 96 kHz and 192 kHz multi-channel linear PCM audio signals cannot be output. They are output as 2-channel signals (page 121).

When an HDMI cable with a built-in equalizer is connected, it may not operate properly.
