DisplayPort
(Note 1) (Note 3)
DisplayPort is one of the new generation interface technologies that delivers high quality digital imaging
and audio, supporting bi-directional audio transmition. DisplayPort can support both DPCP and HDCP
content protection mechanisms. Connect the audio/video device that supports DisplayPort to this port.
The DisplayPort Technology can support a maximum resolution of 2560x1600p but the actual resolutions
supported depend on the monitor being used.
After installing the DisplayPort device, make sure the default device for sound playback is the
DisplayPort device. (The item name may differ from operating system. For example, in Windows
Vista, go to Start>Control Panel>Sound>Playback and set the DisplayPort device as the default
playback device. Refer to the HDMI settings information on the previous page for the configura-
tion dialog box.)
