• The arrow on the cable connector body
should be face up for correct alignment
with the connector on the player.
When you first switch on the player, you will
see the HDMI settings menu appear on your
monitor or display. From here you can select
the resolution, aspect ratio, color and audio
settings, as well as adjust the video
presentation to your liking. For more on these
settings see
HDMI Settings on page 72.
HDMI or DVI appears in the front panel
display according to the compatibility of the
component connected.
• 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 separate
adaptor (DVI
HDMI) to do so. A DVI
connection, however, does not support
audio signals. Consult your local audio
dealer for more information.
• This unit has been designed to be
compliant with HDMI (High Definition
Multimedia Interface) Version 1.1.
Depending on the component you have
connected, using a DVI connection may
result in unreliable signal transfers.
• When you change the component
connected to the HDMI output, you will
also need to change the HDMI settings to
match the new component (see
HDMI
Settings on page 72 to do this). However,
the settings for each component are then
stored in memory (for up to 5
components).
• The HDMI connection is compatible with
2 channel linear PCM signals (44.1 to
192kHz, 16/20/24 bit), and Dolby Digital,
DTS and MPEG audio bitstream (5.1
channel signals up to 96kHz, 16/20/24bit).
• It is not possible to output SACD source
from the HDMI connection.
About HDMI
HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface)
supports both video and audio on a single
digital connection for use with DVD players,
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 uncompressed
digital video, a bandwidth of up to 2.2
gigabytes per second (with HDTV signals),
one connector (instead of several cables and
connectors), and communication between
the AV source and AV devices such as DTVs.
