TV
•Video signals are not output if the input video signals do not match the display’s resolution. In this case,
switch the Blu-ray Disc/DVD player’s resolution to a resolution with which the display is compatible.
•When this unit and monitor are connected with an HDMI cable, if the display or monitor is not compatible
with HDMI audio signal playback, only the video signals are sent to the display or monitor. Make audio
connections (vpage13 “Connecting a TV”).
NOTE
•The audio signal from the HDMI output connector (sampling frequency, number of channels, etc.) may be
limited by the HDMI audio specifications of the connected device regarding permissible inputs.
•When connecting a TV that does not support the ARC function, an audio cable connection is
required in addition to the HDMI cable. In this case, refer to “Connecting a TV” (vpage13) for
the connection method.
For the ARC function, see “About ARC (Audio Return Channel) function” (vpage8).
Connecting to a device equipped with a DVI-D connector
The DVI-D (Digital Visual Interface) method is also used for video transmission via digital signals. This is
developed mainly for computers, and some displays such as projectors are equipped with this interface. To
output HDMI video signals to a DVI-D video input compatible device, use an HDMI/DVI conversion cable
or adapter.
The DVI-D connector can transmit high quality digital video signals, but copy guard and other issues may
hinder normal operations for some device combinations.
NOTE
•No sound is output when connected to a device equipped with a DVI-D connector. Make audio
connections as described in “Connecting a TV” (vpage13).
•Signals cannot be output to DVI-D devices that do not support HDCP.
•Depending on the combination of devices, the video signals may not be output.
Settings required when using a TV that supports the ARC function
When using a TV that supports the ARC function, make the following settings.
•Set “HDMI Control” (vpage92) to “On”.
