(10) DVI connections
Connection with equipment that has a DVI (Digital Visual Interface)-D connector permits the transfer of digital images.
When using display equipment that is not supported by the HDCP (content protection function), the image will not be output properly.
Make an audio connection also because an audio signal will not be output via the DVI-D connector.
Commercially DVI cables are available in 24-pin and 29-pin types. The DVD-5910 supports the 24-pin DVI-D cable, but the 29-pin DVI
cable cannot be connected.

DVI-D Settings
• When using DVI-D connections, use the HDMI/DVI SELECT button on the main unit or the remote control unit to set "HDMI Y Cb Cr"
or "HDMI R G B". (See "HDMI/DVI SELECT" on page 56. By default, this setting is set to "HDMI/DVI OFF".)
Signals are output via the DVI-D connector in RGB format, regardless of whether "HDMI Y Cb Cr" or "HDMI R G B" is set.
When connecting both the HDMI and DVI-D connectors to monitors
• Video signals with the same resolution are output via the HDMI and DVI-D connectors.
• When monitors are connected to both the HDMI and DVI-D connectors in the "AUTO" mode, the resolution is set automatically
according to the connected devices. (See "HDMI/DVI FORMAT" on page 56.)
q When two HDMI devices are connected (an HDMI-DVI conversion cable is required)
The resolutions of the two HDMI devices are detected automatically, the lowest resolution is selected and the signals are output
with that resolution.
w When one HDMI and one DVI device are connected
The resolution is set to "480P/576P".
e When two DVI devices are connected (an HDMI-DVI conversion cable is required)
The resolution is set to "480P/576P".
It is also possible to set the resolution manually. Use the "HDMI/DVI FORMAT" button on the main unit or the remote control unit
to set the resolution to "480P/576P", "720P", "1080i", according to the resolution of the connected device.
• Select the HDMI output format, either the Y Cb Cr or the RGB format. Use the "HDMI/DVI SELECT" button on the main unit or the
remote control unit to make the setting. The DVI-D output is set to the RGB format regardless of the HDMI setting. (See page 56.)
Connecting an HDMI-DVI conversion cable
• When connecting to a monitor using a commercially available HDMI-DVI conversion cable, no audio signals are output.
• When connected to a DVI-D compatible monitor, the output is automatically switched to RGB.
• For stable signal transfer, we recommend using cables that are a maximum of 5 meters in length.

Copyright Protection System
To play the digital images and sounds of DVD video or DVD audio via an HDMI/DVI-D connection, it is necessary that both the player
and monitor (or AV amplifier) support a copyright protection system called HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection
System). HDCP is copy protection technology that comprises data encryption and authentication of the partner equipment. The
DVD-5910 supports HDCP. Please see the user's manual of your monitor (or AV amplifier) for information about this.
