HDMI Auto Detection Function

The player's video output will automatically change to HDMI mode when connecting an HDMI cable while power is on.

•HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface)

HDMI is an interface that enables the digital transmission of video and audio data with just a single connector. Using HDMI, the DVD Room Cinema 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 - Supports video and digital audio data.

-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.

•Why does Samsung use HDMI?

Analogue TVs require an Analogue video/audio signal. However, when playing a DVD, the data transmitted to a TV is digital. Therefore either a digital-to-Analogue converter (in the DVD Room Cinema) or an Analogue-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 player to your TV.

•What is the HDCP?

HDCP (High-band width 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 unauthorisedd copies from being made.

•What is Anynet+?

Anynet+ is a convenient function that offers linked operation of this unit through Samsung TVs with the Anynet+ feature.

•If your Samsung TV has an n logo, then it supports the Anynet+ function.

•If you turn on the player and insert a disc, the player will start playing the disc, and the TV will turn on automatically and switch to HDMI mode.

•If you turn on the player and press the Play button with a disc already inserted, the TV will immediately turn on and switch to HDMI mode.

Why use HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface)?
