The 650BD can output video in both fully digital (HDMI) and analogue
(Composite, S-Video and Component) formats. If your TV set supports
HDMI then this is the preferred format (see next section).
If your TV set supports only analogue video the preferred connection is (in
declining order of quality) Component, then S-Video and finally

Connection to a TV via an AV Receiver
Direct connection to a TV
HDMI (High-Definition Multi-Media Interface) is a digital connection that
can carry both audio and video in one cable. Direct digital transfer of
video and support for various types of high definition video content make
this the best connection type for picture quality.
DVI output can be supported simply by using DVI to HDMI adaptors as
these two connection types are compatible. When using DVI only video
will be passed to the TV/Monitor. A Co-axial (SPDIF) or Optical (TOSlink)
digital audio connection must be made from the 650BD to the AV receiver
for it to be able to receive audio and decode surround sound etc.
Note: The Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby True HD, DTS HD High Resolution and
DTS HD Master Audio can only be passed by the 650BD over HDMI.
As HDMI can carry both digital audio and video, HDMI can be used to
connect to AV receivers that support this function for external decoding.
