Copyright protection system
To play back the digital video images of a BD / DVD via an HDMI connection, it is necessary that both the unit and
the TV (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 device. This unit supports HDCP. Please read the operating instructions of your TV (or AV amplifier)
for more information.

Among the devices that support HDMI, some devices can control other devices via the HDMI jack, this unit cannot
be controlled by another device via the HDMI jack.

maybe limited by the device that is connected.
Among the devices that support HDMI, some do not support audio output (e.g, projectors). In connections with
device such as this unit, audio signals are not output from HDMI OUT jack.
