Connecting external devices

The HDMI connections permit digital video and audio
transmission via a connection cable from a player/
recorder. The digital picture and sound data are
transmitted without data compression and therefore
lose none of their quality. Analogue/digital conversion
is no longer necessary in the connected devices, which
also would result in quality losses.

DVI/HDMI conversion

Using a cable DVI/HDMI, the digital signals of a DVD
video, can also be reproduced through a compatible
HDMI connection. The sound should be supplied
additionally.
• On connecting a DVI/HDMI cable to the HDMI terminal, the
picture may not be visualised clearly.
• Both HDMI and DVI use the same method of HDCP
protection against copy.
• For connecting a DVI cable, a commercially available adaptor
(not supplied) is necessary.
NOTE
• Depending on the type of HDMI cable used, a video noise
may appear. Be sure to use a certified HDMI cable.
• On reproducing HDMI picture, the best format is
automatically detected and adjusted for the picture.
