• HDMI (High Definition 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 disc player 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 (LPCM or Bitstream).
- 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 disc
player) 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 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.
