Connecting using HDMI
If you have an HDMI or DVI-equipped 1 monitor or
display 2 , you can connect it to this recorder using an
HDMI cable (not supplied).
The HDMI connector outputs uncompressed digital
video, as well as almost every kind of digital audio.
1 Use an HDMI cable to connect the HDMI OUT
connector on this recorder to an HDMI connector on
an HDMI-compatible monitor.
• The arrow on the cable connector body should be
face down for correct alignment with the connector
on the recorder.
When connected to an HDMI component or HDCP-
compatible DVI component, the HDMI indicator lights.
HDMI setup is generally automatic. There are however
settings you can change if you need to. See HDMI Output
(only available when an HDMI device is connected) on
page 137 for more information. Note that the HDMI
settings remain in effect until you change them, or
connect a new HDMI component.
Important
• An HDMI connection can only be made with DVI-
equipped components compatible with both DVI and
High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP).
If you choose to connect to a DVI connector, you will
need a DVI to HDMI adaptor cable. A DVI to HDCP
connection, however, does not support audio.
Consult your local audio dealer for more information.
• The HDMI connection is compatible with 32 kHz, 44.1
kHz, 48 kHz, 96 kHz, 16 bit/20 bit/24 bit 2-channel
linear PCM signals, as well as Dolby Digital, DTS and
MPEG audio bitstream.
• If your connected component is only compatible with
Linear PCM, the signal is output as Linear PCM (DTS
audio is not output).
• If you have connected to a Pioneer plasma display,
please select the HDMI setup on the display (refer to
the supplied manual for more on this).
About HDMI
HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) supports
both video and audio on a single digital connection for
use with DVD players and recorders, DTV, set-top boxes,
and other AV devices. HDMI was developed to provide
the technologies of High Bandwidth Digital Content
Protection (HDCP) as well as Digital Visual Interface
(DVI) in one specification. HDCP is used to protect digital
content transmitted and received by DVI-compliant
displays.
HDMI has the capability to support standard, enhanced,
or high-definition video plus standard to multi-channel
surround-sound audio. HDMI features include uncom-
pressed digital video, a bandwidth of up to 5 gigabits per
second (Dual Link), one connector (instead of several
cables and connectors), and communication between
the AV source and AV devices such as DTVs.

on the component you have connected, using a DVI connection may result in unreliable signal transfers.
