Connecting for HDMI output

If you have an HDMI or DVI (with HDCP) equipped monitor or
display, you can connect it to this player using a commercially
available HDMI cable.
The HDMI connector outputs uncompressed digital video, as well as
most digital audio formats.
Important
• This unit has been designed to be compliant with HDMI (High
Definition Multimedia Interface). Depending on the component
you have connected, using a DVI connection may result in
unreliable signal transfers.
•If you change the display connected to the HDMI output, you will
also need to change the Output Format settings to match the
new display (see Changing the video output format on page 14 to
do this).
•The HDMI connection is compatible with 8-channel linear PCM
signals (44.1 kHz to 192 kHz1, 16 bit/20 bit/24 bit), Dolby Digital
bitstream and DTS (5.1 channel signals) bitstream.
• Depending on the HDMI cable being used, 1080p output may
not appear correctly.
•If you connect a DVI device to the HDMI output of this player, ensure
that it is compliant with High Definition Content Protection (HDCP).
If you choose to connect to a DVI connector, you will need a
separate adaptor (DVIHDMI) to do so. A DVI connection,
however, does not support audio signals. Consult your local
audio dealer for more information.
•Use an HDMI cable (not supplied) to connect the HDMI OUT
interconnect on this player to an HDMI interconnect on an
HDMI-compatible display.
• The arrow on the cable connector body should be face up for
correct alignment with the connector on the player.
After switching on the player you may need to set the video output
format and HDMI color space for compatibility with your display.
See Changing the video output format on page 14 and HDMI Color
Space in Using the Initial Setup menu on page 41.

About HDMI

HDMI supports both standard and high-definition video, plus
standard and multi-channel surround-sound audio. HDMI features
include uncompressed digital video, one connector (instead of
several cables and connectors), and communication between the
AV source and AV devices such as DTVs.
HDMI was developed to provide the technologies of High Bandwidth
Digital Content Protection (HDCP) as well as Digital Visual Interface
(DVI) in one specification. HDCP is used to protect digital content
transmitted and received by DVI-compliant displays.

Note
1 192 kHz output is limited to 2 channels.
