• If you have connected to a Pioneer Flat
Screen TV, please select the HDMI setup
on the display (refer to the supplied
manual for more on this).

About HDMI

HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia
Interface) supports both video and audio on
a single digital connection for use with DVD
players and recorders, DTV, set-top boxes,
and other AV devices. HDMI was developed
to provide the technologies of
High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection
(HDCP) as well as Digital Visual Interface
(DVI) in one specification. HDCP is used to
protect digital content transmitted and
received by DVI-compliant displays.
HDMI has the capability to support
standard, enhanced, or high-definition video
plus standard to multi-channel surround-
sound audio. HDMI features include
uncompressed digital video, a bandwidth of
up to five gigabits per second (Dual Link),
one connector (instead of several cables and
connectors), and communication between
22
the AV source and AV devices such as DTVs.
