Connecting using HDMI

If you have an HDMI or DVI-equipped
1
monitor or display
2
, you can connect it to
this recorder using an HDMI cable (not
supplied).
The HDMI connector outputs uncom-
pressed digital video, as well as almost every
kind of digital audio.
1 Use an HDMI cable to connect the
HDMI OUT connector on this recorder to
an HDMI connector on an HDMI-compat-
ible monitor.
The arrow on the cable connector body
should be face down for correct align-
ment with the connector on the
recorder.
When connected to an HDMI component or
HDCP-compatible DVI component, the
HDMI indicator lights.
HDMI setup is generally automatic. There
are however settings you can change if you
need to. See
HDMI Output (only available
when an HDMI device is connected)
on
page 148 for more information. Note that the
HDMI settings remain in effect until you
change them, or connect a new HDMI
component.
Important
An HDMI connection can only be made
with DVI-equipped components compat-
ible with both DVI and High-bandwidth
Digital Content Protection (HDCP). If you
choose to connect to a DVI connector,
you will need a DVI to HDMI adaptor
cable. A DVI to HDCP connection,
however, does not support audio.
Consult your local audio dealer for more
information.
The HDMI connection is compatible with
32 kHz, 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz, 96 kHz, 16 bit/
20 bit/24 bit 2-channel linear PCM
signals, as well as Dolby Digital, DTS and
MPEG audio bitstream.
If your connected component is only
compatible with Linear PCM, the signal
is output as Linear PCM (DTS audio is
not output).
If you have connected to a Pioneer
plasma display, please select the HDMI
setup on the display (refer to the
supplied manual for more on this).
Note
1This unit has been designed to be compliant with HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) version 1.2a and
HDCP version 1.1. Depending on the component you have connected, using a DVI connection may result in
unreliable signal transfers.
