What is HDMI?

• HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) supports both video and

audio on a single digital connection for use with DVD Players Set-Top
Boxes, and other AV devices.

• HDMI was developed to provide the technologies of HDCP (High

Definition Contents Protection). HDCP is used to protect digital content
transmitted and received.

• Because HDMI is an evolving technology, it is possible that some

devices may not operate properly with this DVD Player.

• The HDMI logo and High-Definition Multimedia Interface are trademarks

or registered trademarks of HDMI licensing LLC.

Note:

1. Once connected, press HD on the remote control to select the
resolution (HD OFF , 720P, 1080i, 1080P) for the HDMI output. The
resolution only can be changed according to the TV’s and
Monitor’s resolution capabilities.

2. The cable connector should face the correct alignment with the
connector on the DVD Player.

3. Please note when HDMI output is selected at 720p, 1080i or
1080p, video will only come out from HDMI and component out
jack. Select HD OFF when you are using S-Video or Composite
video output jack to watch movies.

4. If your TV or monitor is without HDCP , blue screen without picture
appears when playing a DVD disc which is protected by
copyrights.

5. If your TV or monitor is without HDCP , its suggested to disconnect
the HDMI cable when you are using S-Video, Component or
Composite video output jack to watch movies in order to get the
best playback performance.

6. If there is no HDMI jack on your television, please refer to the
following Video and Audio Connections.

Video Connections

- The way in which the DVD Player is connected and the kinds of cables

used can make a noticable difference in picture and sound quality. Before
selecting one of the options, please make sure that any other equipment
(e.g. TV, receiver) has the required input/output channels for HDCP
checking.

- If you connecting a TV without HDCP via HDMI cable, it may cause the

video and audio out interruptive, so you need to disconnect the HDMI
cable to recover.

- Before you select the below options, you must turn to HD OFF mode of

HDMI output first (press the HD button or HDMI setup menu).
You can select one of the below:

1) For good picture quality, use COMPOSITE VIDEO CABLE

2) For better picture quality, use S-VIDEO CABLE

3) For best picture quality, use COMPONENT VIDEO CABLES

Notes on Progressive Scan:

1. If the TV can support Progressive Scan feeds, it is recommended
to connect the video connection the same as the diagram above.

2. Once connected, press the SETUP/EXIT button to enter the video
setup menu to select P-SCAN YPBPR as video output.

3. The TV may need adjustment to accept Progressive Scan feeds.

4. Do not substitute a component Video cable with an Audio/Video
cable. Although these types of cables do look alike, the actual
wires inside the cable in which the signal passes along are very
different. Substituting cables will result in poor picture quality
and could damage your equipment.
