Why does Samsung use HDMI?
Analogue TVs require an analogue video/audio signal. However, when playing a BD/DVD, the data
transmitted to a TV is digital. Therefore either a digital-to-analogue converter (in the Blu-ray Home Cinema) or an
analogue-to-digital converter (in the TV) is required. During this conversion, the picture quality is degraded due to
noise and signal loss. HDMI technology is superior because it requires no D/A conversion and is a pure digital
signal from the player to your TV.

What is the HDCP?
HDCP (High-band width Digital Content Protection) is a system for protecting BD/DVD content outputted via HDMI
from being copied. It provides a secure digital link between a video source (PC, DVD. etc) and a display device (TV,
projector. etc). Content is encrypted at the source device to prevent unauthorized copies from being made.
