For details, refer to “HDMI Video Resolution*” on page 37.

Copyright protection system

To play back the digital video images of a BD-video or DVD-video via an HDMI connection, it is necessary that both the
player and the display device (or an AV receiver / amplifier) support a copyright protection system called HDCP (high­bandwidth digital content protection system). HDCP is copy protection technology that comprises data encryption
and authentication of the connected AV device. This unit supports HDCP. Please read the operating instructions of
your display device (or AV receiver / amplifier) for more information.

Note

• When connected to an HDCP incompatible display device, the picture will not be displayed properly.

• To output the audio signals from the HDMI OUT jack, set “Audio Output” to “HDMI Normal” or “HDMI LPCM” in the

setup menu. (Refer to page 43.)

• The audio signals from the HDMI OUT jack (including the sampling frequency, the number of channels and bit

length) may be limited by the device that is connected.

• Among the display device(s) that support HDMI, some do not support audio output (for example, projectors). While

connected to a device such as a projector, audio will not be output from the HDMI OUT jack.
