Notes about the HDMI OUT jack

•When you connect the player to an AV amplifier (receiver) using an HDMI cord, you will need to do one of the following:

–Connect the AV amplifier (receiver) to a TV with the HDMI cord.

–Connect the player to the TV with a video cord other than an HDMI cord (component video cord, S VIDEO cord, or video cord).

•When connecting to the HDMI OUT jack, carefully align the HDMI connector with the jack. Do not bend or apply pressure to the HDMI cord.

•If you change the component connected to the HDMI OUT jack, change “Audio (HDMI)” in “Audio Setup” to match the new component (page 47). The player stores the HDMI related settings for up to five components.

•The HDMI connection is compatible with 2ch Linear PCM signals (48 to 192 kHz, 16/20/24 bit), and 6 to 8ch Linear PCM signals (48 to 96 kHz, 16/20/24 bit), in addition to Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD, DTS (include DTS-ES, DTS96/24) and DTS-HD High Resolution Audio bitstream.

Note

If you connect a component that does not conform to the selected audio signal, a loud noise (or no sound) will come out from the speakers, which could damage your ears or speakers.
