•Why does Samsung use HDMI?

Analog TVs require an analog video/audio signal. However, when playing a DVD, the data transmit- ted to a TV is digital. Therefore either a digital-to-analog converter (in the DVD player) or an analog- to-digital converter (in the TV) is required. During this conversion, the picture quality is degraded due to noise and signal loss. DVI technology is superior because it requires no D/A conversion and is a pure digital signal from the player to your TV.

•What is the HDCP?

HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) is a system for protecting DVD content outputted via DVI/HDMI from being copied. It provides a secure digital link between a video source (PC, DVD. etc) and a display device (TV, projector . etc). Content is encrypted at the source device to prevent unauthorized.

E. Connection to an Audio System (2 Channel Amplifier, Dolby Digital, MPEG2 or DTS Amplifier)

1.Using the audio cables, connect the AUDIO (red and white) OUT terminals or 5.1CH (Front L-R) on the rear of the DVD player to the AUDIO (red and white) IN terminals of the Amplifier. If using a coaxial cable, connect the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT (COAXIAL) terminal on the rear of the DVD player to the DIGITAL AUDIO IN (COAXIAL) terminal of the Amplifier.

2.Using the video signal cable(s), connect the VIDEO, COMPONENT or HDMI OUT terminals on the rear of the DVD player to the VIDEO, COMPONENT or DVI IN terminals of your TV

3.Turn on the DVD player, TV, and Amplifier.

4.Press the input select button of the Amplifier to select external input in order to hear sound from the DVD player. Refer to your Amplifier's user manual to set the Amplifier's audio input.
