The picture and sound that is played back
will be abnormal if the connection is loose.
2. The HDMI input on HDMI 1 , 2 and FRONT
contains the copy protection system called
High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection
(HDCP). HDCP is a cryptographic system
that encrypts video signals when using
HDMI connections to
copying of video contents.
3. HDMI is not a "NETWORK" technology. It
establishes a one-way
connection for delivery of uncompressed
video to a display.
4. The connected digital output device
controls the HDMI interface so proper set-up
of device user settings determines final
video appearance.
5. When using a DVI to HDMI cable, connect the
Audio Out L and R cables at the same INPUT
(1 , 2 or Front) as your HDMI INPUT(1 , 2 or Front).
