while power is on. For possible HDMI resolutions, see page 41.
HDMI (High Defi nition Multimedia Interface)
HDMI is an interface that enables the digital transmission of video and audio data with just a single connector.
Using HDMI, the Blu-ray Home Theater transmits a digital video and audio signal and displays a vivid picture on a
TV having an HDMI input jack.
HDMI connection description
HDMI connector - Supports video and digital audio data.
- HDMI outputs only a pure digital signal to the TV.
- If your TV does not support HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection), random noise appears on the screen.
Why does Samsung use HDMI?
Analog TVs require an analog video/audio signal. However, when playing a BD/DVD, the data
transmitted to a TV is digital. Therefore either a digital-to-analog converter (in the Blu-ray Home Theater) or an
analog-to-digital converter (in the TV) is required. During this conversion, the picture quality is degraded due to
noise and signal loss. HDMI technology is superior because it requires no D/A conversion and is a pure digital
signal from the player to your TV.
What is the HDCP?
HDCP (High-band width Digital Content Protection) is a system for protecting BD/DVD content outputted via HDMI
from being copied. It provides a secure digital link between a video source (PC, DVD. etc) and a display device (TV,
projector. etc). Content is encrypted at the source device to prevent unauthorized copies from being made.
What is Anynet+?
Anynet+ is a convenient function that offers linked operation of this unit through Samsung TVs with the Anynet+ feature.
- If your Samsung TV has an
logo, then it supports the Anynet+ function.
- If you turn on the player and insert a disc, the player will start playing the disc, and the TV will turn on
automatically and switch to HDMI mode.
- If you turn on the player and press the PLAY button with a disc already inserted, the TV will immediately turn on
and switch to HDMI mode.
What is BD Wise?
BD Wise is Samsung's latest inter-connectivity feature.
- When you connect Samsung products with BD-Wise to each other via HDMI, the optimum resolution will be set
automatically.
METHOD 2 : Composite Video
(GOOD)
Connect the supplied Video cable from the VIDEO OUT jack on the back of the Blu-ray Home Theater
to the VIDEO IN jack on your TV.
The VIDEO source is always output in 480i resolution regardless of the resolution set in the SETUP
menu. (See page 42)
After making the video connection, set the Video input source on your TV to match the
corresponding Video output (Composite) on your Blu-ray Home Theater.
See your TV owner's manual for more information on how to select the TV's Video Input source.
Do not connect the unit through a VCR. Video signals fed through VCRs may be affected by
copyright protection systems and the picture will be distorted on the television.
