Connecting HDMI/DVI to a

TV

■ To watch through the HDMI output, set
the digital audio output to PCM.
See page 32~33.
■ Depending on the HDMI device (TV/HDMI
Receiver) you use, audio may not be
supported. If TV does not support Dolby
digital/DTS, Audio output is not available
when you set Digital output as Bitstream
or select DTS On in Audio setup menu.
In this case, set the digital audio output to
PCM or DTS off.
CAUTION
To change HDMI output resolution, see

HDMI (High Definition Multimedia
Interface)
HDMI is an interface to enable the digital
transmission of video and audio data with
just a single connector. Since HDMI is
based on DVI, it is completely compatible
with DVI. The only difference between
HDMI and DVI is that HDMI supports
multi-channel audio.
Using HDMI, the DVD recorder transmits
a digital video and audio signal and
displays a vivid picture on a TV having an
HDMI input jack.
HDMI connection description
HDMI connector - Both uncompressed
video data and digital audio data (LPCM
or Bit Stream data).
- Though the DVD recorder uses a HDMI
cable, the DVD recorder outputs only a
pure digital signal to the TV.
- If TV does not support HDCP (High-
bandwidth Digital Content Protection),
snow noise appears on the screen.
Why does Samsung use HDMI?
Analog TVs require an analog video/audio
signal. However, when playing a DVD, the
data transmitted to a TV is digital.
Therefore either a digital-to-analog
converter (in the DVD Recorder) 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. HDMI technology is
superior because it requires no D/A
conversion and is a pure digital signal
from the DVD recorder to your TV.
What is the HDCP?
HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content
Protection) is a system for protecting DVD
content outputted via 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 copies from being
made.
