Connecting to a device with an HDMI input

HDMI stands for High Definition Multimedia Interface. HDMI transfers digital audio and uncompressed digital video on a single cable. As a result, audio cables and video cables don’t need to be connected separately to a device. The HDMI OUTPUT jack is designed to HDMI Version 1.1.

To view 480 , 720 , 1080 pictures, use the HDMI OUTPUT jack or the COMPONENT OUTPUT jacks to connect to a TV ( page 22, “Connecting to a TV with component video inputs”). Some discs may require use of the HDMI OUTPUT for viewing of high resolution material. See note regarding copy protection.

Note on copy protection and high definition viewing

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 definition video (original 720p or 1080i or up-converted 480i or 480p) from the COMPONENT 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 definition format and the COMPONENT OUTPUT jacks, if activated, will output video only in 480i or 480p resolution.
