When connecting to a progressive TV, it is recommended that you use only pattern C. If you connect to your TV using both Cand D, a special control signal transmitted via the SCART cord may cause the signal to be switched to the SCART jack.

To connect to a TV with DVI input

Use an HDMI-DVI converter cord (not supplied). The DVI jack will not accept any audio signals, so you have to use another audio connection in addition to this connection (page 14). Furthermore, you cannot connect the HDMI OUT jack to DVI jacks that are not HDCP compliant (e.g., DVI jacks on PC displays).

BHDMI/DVI input jack

Use a certified Sony HDMI cord to enjoy high quality digital picture and sound through the HDMI OUT jack.

When connecting to a Sony TV that is compatible with the CONTROL FOR HDMI function, see page 13.

When connecting to the HDMI OUT jack

Follow the steps below. Improper handling may damage the HDMI OUT jack and the connector.

1 Carefully align the HDMI OUT jack on the back of the player and the HDMI connector by checking their shapes.

Make sure the connector is not upside down or tilted.

Be sure to make the connections firmly to avoid hum and noise. When you connect using the SCART cord, check that the TV conforms to RGB signals. Refer to the operating instructions supplied with the TV to be connected. Also, when you set “LINE” to “RGB (COMPONENT OFF)” under “SCREEN SETUP” in the Setup Display (page 35), use a SCART cord that conforms to each signal.

•Do not connect more than one type of video cord between the player and your TV at the same time.

•Do not use connections B and D at the same time.

•Do not connect a VCR, etc., between your TV and the player. If you pass the player signals via the VCR, you may not receive a clear image on the TV screen. If your TV has only one audio/video input jack, connect the player to this jack.
