Important
• An HDMI connection can only be made
with DVI-equipped components
compatible with both DVI and High-
bandwidth Digital Content Protection
(HDCP). If you choose to connect to a
DVI connector, you will need a DVI to
HDMI adaptor cable. A DVI to HDCP
connection, however, does not support
audio. Consult your local audio dealer for
more information.
• The HDMI connection is compatible with
32 kHz, 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz, 96 kHz, 16 bit/
20 bit/24 bit 2-channel linear PCM
signals, as well as Dolby Digital, DTS and
MPEG audio bitstream.
• If your connected component is only
compatible with Linear PCM, the signal
is output as Linear PCM (DTS audio is
not output).
• If you have connected to a Pioneer
plasma display, 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
the AV source and AV devices such as DTVs.
