About Video Signal
When 'About HDMI Video Resolution Setting" (&page 15) is set to "Auto", of the resolution
supported by both of the 2 connected devices, the DVD-A 1UDCI outputs the highest resolution
video signal to both devices.

About Audio Signal
(1) Check audio signals that can be input by the device to be connected.
• Audio format ······Bit stream (Dolby Digital. DTS etc.), Linear PCM, etc.
• Number of channels
(2) About number of output channels of multi-channel audio
When outputting bitstream signals to two HDMI devices, the signals are output to both HDMI devices
if they both support bitstream signals. Of only one device support bit stream, LPCM is output to the
device, which does not support bit stream.
When outputting LPCM signals to two HDMI devices, it is not possible to output multi-channel audio
signals with different numbers of channels to the two HOM I devices.
When the number of channels of multi-channel audio supported by the connected 2 HDMI devices
are different, the audio signal output to each mode becomes as follows:
• HOMI Auto (Dual) :
Outputs multi-channel audio of less number of channels to both devices.
If the supported number of channels is 7.1 channel and 5.1 channel, respectively, 5.1 channel audio
is output. If the supported number of channels is multi-channel and 2-channel (or 2.1-channel). multi-
channel and 2-channel are output.
• HOMI Auto (Independent) :
Multi-channel audio is output as is to the device, which supports more number of channels.
LPCM audio of 2-channel is output to the other device.
We recommend you use this mode when outputting to both an AV Amp and TV
o
About Audio Format to be Output
Audio format supported by 2 connected HDMI devices is output.
When multi-channel audio is output, the output channel is as described above (2).

connection for HOMI mode first and then set HOMI mode using ~'lMI.
• When connecting with HOMI cable, perform the settings in "Required Settings for HOMI
Connection" (&page 15).
• OVO-A1UOCI automatically detects audio/video signal supported by the connected HOMI device
and outputs the signal. To change the setting, see "HOMI Setup" on the GUI menu (@"'page 25,
26).
-N,U4
To disable video or audio output from the HDMI terminal, set "Video Out" of "Pure Direct Setup", which
outputs high quality analog audio to "Off". To enable the HDMI signal output set the Pure Direct mode
to one of the following setting:
• Pure Direct mode "Off" or "User Preset 1" or "User Preset 2" ("*)
("Playing Back High-Quality Audio (pure Direct Function)" &page 40)
"* Do this after setting "Pure Direct Setup" - "User Preset 1" or "User Preset 2" - "Video Out" on GUI
menu to "On" (&page 30).
