What is HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface)?

This device transmits DVD video and audio signals digitally without the process of converting to analog. You can get sharper digital pictures by connecting the video to the TV using an HDMI connection cable.

Note

If you connect the HDMI and Component outputs (PR, PB, Y) at the same time, the Component output resolution changes automatically to the designated HDMI resolution.

Example: If the TV connected to HDMI can only support up to 480p, the HDMI and Component outputs are all converted to 480p, even if you select the resolution switch to 1080i.

Since this product has an embedded Video Upscaler function with Faroudja DCDi technology, it can enhance a 576i(480i) DVD resolution output to 480p/720p/1080i.

You do not have to make separate adjustments, since the Home Theater and TV will be automatically adjust themselves to the optimal resolution and aspect ratio if connected to HDMI. (If the TV is an HDTV and has an HDMI Input jack, output is automatically converted to 1080i resolution.)

Audio will not be output if decoder is not embedded in TV during 5.1 channel disc playback.

Component output will give video in ‘480p’ mode only during DVD disc playback applied with Macrovision.

Macrovision processes scramble on analog output to prevent illegal recording. Accordingly, if you are using HDMI only, it can output 480p/720P/1080i, but is limited to 480p only if you are using component.

When both HDMI and COMPONENT jacks are connected, COMPONENT video is not displayed.

See your TV owner's manual for more information on how to select the TV's Video Input source.
