*Why HDMI connection is most recommended?
HD DVD and DVD video disc creators have the option to include copy protection instructions in their discs that prohibit
the output of some standard video or high defi nition video (original 720p, 1080i or 1080p or up-converted 480i/576i
or 480p/576p) from the COMPONENT VIDEO OUTPUT jacks. If such instructions are present in the disc you are
playing, you must use the HDMI OUTPUT jack to view the disc in a high defi nition format and the COMPONENT VIDEO
OUTPUT jacks, if activated, will output video only in 480i/576i or 480p/576p resolution.
Check the type of video input on your TV. To view high defi nition content, use the
HDMI OUTPUT jack or the COMPONENT VIDEO OUTPUT jacks to connect to a
TV. Some discs may require use of the HDMI OUTPUT jack.
