Notes about the HDMI OUT jack

• When you connect the player to an AV amplifier (receiver)

using an HDMI cord, you will need to do one of the following:
– Connect the AV amplifier (receiver) to a TV with the HDMI

cord.

– Connect the player to the TV with a video cord other than an

HDMI cord (component video cord, S VIDEO cord, or video
cord).

• When connecting to the HDMI OUT jack, carefully align the

HDMI connector with the jack. Do not bend or apply pressure
to the HDMI cord.

• If you change the component connected to the HDMI OUT

jack, change “Audio (HDMI)” in “Audio Setup” to match the
new component (page 47). The player stores the HDMI related
settings for up to five components.

• The HDMI connection is compatible with 2ch Linear PCM

signals (48 to 192 kHz, 16/20/24 bit), and 6 to 8ch Linear PCM
signals (48 to 96 kHz, 16/20/24 bit), in addition to Dolby
Digital and DTS bit stream (5.1ch signals up to 96 kHz, 16/20/
24bit).

Note

If you connect a component that does not conform to the selected audio
signal, a loud noise (or no sound) will come out from the speakers, which
could damage your ears or speakers.
