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. Use a commercially available authorized HDMI cable.

This player supports simultaneous output of video on its HDMI and component video ports. However, some discs may restrict output of video on the component video ports when viewing high definition content or up-converted DVD content. The resolution on the HDMI output will be the same as the resolution output on the component video output. Thus, because the HDMI output can change automatically to match the maximum available resolution of your display, if you connect both the HDMI output and component output, the resolution on the component output will change if the HDMI output Auto-adjusts.

After completing the connection, proceed to page 23 to make the setting.

Notes

Refer to the owner’s manual for the TV to be connected to this player for more information concerning HDMI connections.

When the HDMI connection is not verified, an error message appears on the front panel display. In this case, disconnect the HDMI cable then connect it again, or turn off the connected HDMI device then turn it on.

HDMI is an evolving technology, so it is possible that some devices may not operate properly with this player.

Be sure to confirm compatibility of a cable when connecting a Deep Color compatible display device.
