[HDMI CONNECTION]
A simple 1-cable connection with a device having an
HDMI (high-definition multimedia interface) connector
allows digital transfer of both digital video signals and
multi-channel audio signals. This is the best method
to connect this unit. It can minimise the deterioration
of image quality.
Use the HDMI cable (commercially available) for
connection.
Connect the HDMI output jack of this unit to the HDMI
input jack of TV.

Copyright protection system
To play back the digital video images of a DVD via an
HDMI connection, it is necessary that both the player
and the display device (or an AV amplifier) support a
copyright protection system called HDCP
(high-bandwidth digital content protection system).
HDCP is copy protection technology that comprises
data encryption and authentication of the connected
AV device. This unit supports HDCP. Please read the
operating instructions of your display device
(or AV amplifier) for more information.
* HDMI: High Definition Multimedia Interface
Note
• Switch the input selector on your TV to an
appropriate external input channel.
• Some HDMI TVs/monitors from different
manufacturers may adhere to different standards
resulting in unreliable signal transfers.
• When using an HDCP-incompatible display device,
the image will not be viewed properly.
• Among the devices that support HDMI, some
devices can control other devices via the HDMI.
• The audio signals from the HDMI connector
(including the sampling frequency, the number of
channels and bit length) may be limited by the
device that is connected.
• Among the monitors that support HDMI, some do
not support audio output (for example, projectors).
In connection with device such as this unit, audio
signals are not output from the HDMI output
connector.
• When this unit's HDMI connector is connected to a
DVI-D compatible monitor (HDCP compatible) with
an HDMI-DVI conversion cable, the signals are
output in digital RGB.
