We recommend that you use an HDMI cable shorter than 5 meters (16 feet) with the HDMI logo printed on it.

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

Notes

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

If you turn off the power of the video monitor connected to the HDMI OUT jack via a DVI connection, this unit may fail to establish the connection to the component.

The analog video signals input at the composite video, S-video and component video jacks can be digitally up-converted to be output at the HDMI OUT jack. Set “VIDEO CONV.” to “ON” in “MANUAL SETUP” (see page 98) to activate this feature.
