1.8 INTERCONNECTS
These illustrations show audio, video, IR, and trigger connectors used between source components, the
processor, displays, and power amplifiers. Note that when RCA cables have coaxial construction and their
impedance is 75 ohms, they are equally suitable for analog video and digital audio.
DVI connection:
Cables with DVI connection on one end and HDMI connection on the other are more reliable than DVI-HDMI
adapters. If you are having a connection problem and an adapter is in use, try eliminating the adapter.
Important notes regarding HDMI cables:
1080p uses twice the bandwidth that 720p and 1080i do – make sure that the cable is suitable for your
application especially when using a long cable otherwise the picture may contain pixel dropouts or not play
at all. If the display is far from the processor, a repeater or special connection system may be needed –
contact your dealer.
BE CAREFUL WHEN INSERTING HDMI CABLES. The connector should slide into the jack easily – do not
insert it on an angle and do not force it. Each connector contains 19 delicate pins, and cables with
damaged pins can damage jacks. This type of damage is not covered under warranty
. If your HDMI
cables have been connected so many times that they are about to wear out, we strongly recommend
that you replace them.
