CONNECTIONS

Definition Multimedia Interface) connector allows digital transfer of the digital images of DVD-Video and other
sources, DVD-Video, and the multi-channel sound of DVD-Audio.

NOTES:
• When using an HDMI-incompatible or HDCP-incompatible display equipment, the image will not be viewed properly.
• Among the devices that support HDMI, some devices can control other devices via the HDMI connector; however, this play-
er cannot be controlled by another device via the HDMI connector.
• The audio signals from the HDMI connector (including the sampling frequency, the number of channels and bit length) may
be limited by the equipment that is connected.
• When playing a Super Audio CD with an HDMI connection, audio cannot be transferred beyond the CD area. Make an ana-
log connection for this.
• Among the monitors that support HDMI, some do not support audio output (for example, projectors). In connections with
equipment such as this, audio signals are not output from the HDMI output connector.
• When the set’s HDMI connector is connected to a DVI-D compatible monitor (HDCP compatible) with an HDMI-DVI convert-
er cable (commercially available), the signals are output in digital RGB.
*HDMI: High-Definition Multimedia Interface
Copyright protection system
To play back the digital video images of a DVD via an HDMI connection, it is necessary that both the player and the display equip-
ment (or an 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 connected AV equipment.
This player supports HDCP. Please read the operating instructions of your display equipment (or AV amplifier) for more information.
