When connecting with an HDMI/DVI converter cable (adapter)
• HDMI video signals are theoretically compatible with the DVI format.
When connecting to a TV, etc., equipped with a DVI-D terminal, connection is possible using an HDMI/
DVI converter cable, but depending on the combination of components in some cases the video signals
will not be output.
• When connecting using an HDMI/DVI converter adapter, the video signals may not be output properly
due to poor connections with the connected cable, etc.
Connecting Equipment with HDMI Connectors
Copyright protection system
In order to play the digital video and audio signals of a DVD Video disc using HDMI connections, both the
connected DVD player and TV must be equipped for a copyright protection system called “HDCP” (High-
bandwidth Digital Content Protection).
HDCP is a copy protection technology consisting of data encoding and mutual identification of the
devices. The S-302 is HDCP-compatible. Check the operating instructions of your TV to see if they are
compatible.
Digital video and digital audio can both be connected using a single HDMI cable.
NOTE
• When playing multichannel sources, the audio output is downmixed to two channels for output. In
addition, the sampling frequency is lowered to 48 kHz.
• Video signals are not output properly when using devices that are not HDCP-compatible.
•Use a cable on which the HDMI logo is indicated (a certified HDMI product) for connection to the HDMI
connector. Normal playback may not be possible when using a cable other than one on which the HDMI
logo is indicated (a non-HDMI-certified product).
• The audio signals output from the HDMI connector (sampling frequency, bit rate, etc.) may be restricted
by the connected device.
If the connected TV is only compatible with DVI-D terminals, use an HDMI/DVI conversion cable.
Setting the HDMI output resolution
Set the resolution of the video signals output from the HDMI output terminal to a resolution with which the
connected devices are compatible. Press HDMI on the remote control unit to select.

Connecting the Playback Components
Control Dock for iPod
Use either a DENON Control Dock for iPod
(ASD-1R, sold separately) or an iPod cable
(AK-P100, sold separately) to connect the S-
302 and an iPod.
• When using the Control Dock for iPod,
certain settings must be made on the
Control Dock for iPod. For details, refer
to the Control Dock for iPod’s operating
instructions.
• When using an iPod, refer to “iPod
