HDMI connection description
HDMI connector - Both uncompressed
video data and digital audio data (LPCM
or Bit Stream data).
- Though the HDD & DVD RECORDER
uses a HDMI cable, the HDD & DVD
RECORDER outputs only a pure digital
signal to the TV.
- If TV does not support HDCP (High-
bandwidth Digital Content Protection),
snow noise appears on the screen.
Why does Samsung use HDMI?
Analog TVs require an analog video/audio
signal. However, when playing a DVD, the
data transmitted to a TV is digital.
Therefore either a digital-to-analog
converter (in the HDD & DVD
RECORDER) 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 HDD & DVD
RECORDER to your TV.
What is the HDCP?
HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content
Protection) is a system for protecting 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.
■ AV 3 in selection will be automatically
done. If the input is not selected
automatically, use INPUT button to select
proper input.
■ Copy protected content cannot be
recorded.
