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 definition video (original 720p, 1080i or up-converted
480i or 480p) 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 definition format and the
COMPONENT VIDEO OUTPUT jacks, if activated, will output video only in 480i or 480p resolution.
Connecting to a TV
Via 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.
Notes:
• Refer to the owner’s manual to the connected
TV as well.
• 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.
• Connect the player directly to your TV. If you connect the pla yer to a VCR, TV/VCR combination,
video selector or AV amplifier, the playback picture may be distorted due to copy protection.
• Be sure to turn off the power and unplug both units from the wall outlet before making any
connections.
