✎NOTES
`If you use an HDMI-to-DVI cable to connect to your display device, you must also connect the Digital Audio
Out on the player to an audio system to hear audio.
`An HDMI cable outputs digital video and audio, so you don't need to connect an audio cable.
`Depending on your TV, certain HDMI output resolutions may not work. Please refer to the user manual of
your TV.
`When you connect the player to your TV using the HDMI cable or to a new TV, and then turn it on for the
first time, the player automatically sets the HDMI output resolution to the highest supported by the TV.
`A long HDMI cable may cause screen noise. If this occurs, set HDMI Deep Color to Off in the menu.
`To view video in the HDMI 720p, 1080i, or 1080p output mode, you must use a High speed HDMI cable.
`HDMI outputs only a pure digital signal to the TV.
If your TV does not support HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection), random noise appears on
the screen.
