HDMI

What is HDMI?

HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is the first industry-supported, uncompressed, all-digital A/V (audio/ video) interface.

Providing an interface between any A/V source (such as a set-top box or A/V receiver) and an audio/video monitor (such as a digital television – DTV), HDMI supports standard, enhanced or high-definition video as well as multi-channel digital audio using a single cable.

HDMI transmits all ATSC HDTV standards and supports 8-channel digital audio, with bandwidth to spare to accommodate future enhancements and requirements.

When used in combination with HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection), HDMI provides a secure audio/video interface that meets the security requirements of content providers and system operators.

For further information on HDMI, visit the HDMI website at “http://www.hdmi.org/”.

This unit’s HDMI interface is based on the following standards:

•HDMI 1.1 (High-Definition Multimedia Interface Specification Version 1.1) licensed by HDMI Licensing, LLC.

•HDCP 1.1 (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection System Revision 1.1) licensed by Digital Content Protection, LLC.

Notes

•Analog audio signals input at the audio input jacks other than the HDMI IN 1 or HDMI IN 2 jack cannot be output at the HDMI OUT jack. However, analog video signals input at the composite video, S-video and component video jacks can be up-converted to HDMI so that the digitally up-converted video signals can be output at the HDMI OUT jack (see page 81).

•Connect the HDMI OUT jack of other components (such as a DVD player) to the HDMI IN 1 or HDMI IN 2 jack of this unit. Connect the HDMI OUT jack of this unit to the HDMI IN 1 or HDMI IN 2 jack of other components (such as a projector).

•You need a commercially available HDMI cable to connect this unit to other HDMI components. Use an HDMI cable shorter than 5 m to ensure stable operations and to prevent losses of video quality.

•This unit is not compatible with HDCP-incompatible HDMI or DVI components.

•Use a conversion cable (HDMI jack ↔ DVI-D jack) to connect this unit to other DVI components.

•Digital video signals input at the HDMI IN 1 or HDMI IN 2 jack cannot be output from analog video output jacks.

•Audio signals input at input jacks other than the HDMI IN 1 or HDMI IN 2 of this unit cannot be digitally output at the HDMI OUT jack.

•This unit is not compatible with multi-stereo area audio signals of Super Audio CDs. You can connect devices (such as a DVD player) to the MULTI CH INPUT jacks.

•When connected to a DVD player, audio signals may not be output depending on the type of the DVD player. In case the DVD player connected to this unit does not output DVD multi- channel audio signals at the HDMI OUT jack, connect the DVD player to the analog multi-channel audio input jacks.

•When CPPM copy-protected DVD audio plays back, video and audio signals may not be output depending on the type of the DVD player.

•Video and audio signals input at the HDMI IN 1 or HDMI IN 2 jack cannot be output at the HDMI OUT jack when this unit is set to the standby mode or the power is turned off.

•When connecting other HDMI components to this unit, refer to the instruction manuals for those components.

•When HDMI audio signals are output from components like a DVD player, the audio signal format (such as sampling frequencies) may be restricted depending on the HDMI video signal format.

•Do not disconnect or connect the HDMI cable from this unit or turn off the power of the HDMI/DVI components connected to the HDMI OUT jack of this unit while data is being transferred. Doing so may disrupt playback or cause noise.

•Some video monitors connected to this unit via a DVI connection fail to recognize the HDMI audio signals being input if they are in the standby mode. In this case, the HDMI indicator flashes irregularly and HDCP ERROR appears in the front panel display as if the DVI monitors do not support the HDCP copy protection standards.
