unit to other DVI components.
• You can check the potential problem about the HDMI connection
(page 44).
• If you set “Mode” in “Standby Through” to “Last” or “Fix”, this
unit allows the HDMI signals input at an HDMI IN jack to pass
through this unit and output at an HDMI OUT jack (page 101).
• This unit is equipped with two HDMI OUT jacks. You can select
the active HDMI OUT jack(s) ( page 43 ).
• This unit is equipped with the video conversion function (page 22).
• Do not disconnect or connect the cable or turn off the power of
the HDMI components connected to the HDMI OUT jacks of
this unit while data is being transferred. Doing so may disrupt
playback or cause noise.
• The HDMI OUT jacks output the audio signals input at the
HDMI input jacks only.
• If you turn off the video monitor connected to the HDMI OUT
jacks via a DVI connection, the connection may fail.

and set the component appropriately.

audio signals may not be output depending on the type of the DVD
player.
• This unit is not compatible with HDCP-incompatible HDMI or
DVI components.
