	Important Note
	• DVI (Digital Visual Interface)
	DVI is an interface to enable the digital transmission of video signals between various digital devices.
	Using DVI, the DVD player transmits a digital video signal and displays a vivid picture on a TV having
	a DVI jack.
	• Description of the DVI connection
	DVI-D connector : digital signal only.
	DVI-I connector : digital and analog signal.
	• Though the player is using DVI-I connector, the output from a DVI-I is only a digital signal.
	• If TV does not support HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital content protect), snow noise appears
	on the screen.
	• Be careful that various connectors are similar to DVI connector, for example VESA PnD, VESA DFD
	and so on.
	• Why we adopt DVI?
	Generally, with an analog TV, an analog video signal is input to VIDEO IN.
	However, when playing a DVD title the data transmitted to a TV is digital. Therefore either a digital-to-
	analog converter(in the dvd player) and an analog-to-digital converter (in the TV) is required. During
	this conversion, the picture quality is degraded due to noise and loss of signal.
	DVI technology requires no D/A conversion and DVI 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 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
	copies from being made.
