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.
• When the PURE DIRECT button on the front panel is turned on, not only HDMI images but sounds are not output (refer to

page 16).

• 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 vice 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 layer. 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
equipment (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 connect-
ed AV equipment.
This player supports HDCP. Please read the operating instructions of your display equipment (or AV amplifier) for more
information.
