ES DVD Players 2005, Version 4.0 Page 10
Finally, the components agree on the highest available quality options for
digital audio and video—and then automatically transfer content at that quality!
We've considered just a DVD player and a television. But the dynamic
changes when you insert the Sony® STR-DA7100ES A/V receiver into the
reproduction chain. In this case, the source component DVD player can only talk
to the next component in the chain, the receiver. The receiver then
communicates with the television and mediates the content exchange for the
entire system.
Please note that some restrictions apply.
• AC Power. All HDMI components must be switched on in order for the
HDMI system to work. You can't use HDMI connections through the receiver
if the receiver is switched off.
• Anti-piracy. To prevent the piracy of very high quality digital signals, HDMI
technology also incorporates a security method called High-bandwidth Digital
Content Protection (HDCP). This encrypts the signal so that only authorized
devices can decode the data into pictures and sound. The HDMI connection
is for playback only, meaning that content distributed via HDMI cable cannot
be recorded.
• Super Audio CD. As of January 2005, standards for sending Super Audio
CD sound over HDMI cables had not been established. For this reason,
Super Audio CD sound is not available over the HDMI outputs of the DVP-
NS9100ES and NS3100ES.
