Multi channel) can be trans mit ted with just
a single connector.
By transmitting DVD image data directly as
digital data without it being fi rst converted
into analog format, it becomes possible to
provide the very fi nest in image quality (see
pages 6, 40, 41, 46).
Note
• The HDMI output of this unit can be con nect ed
to a DVI jack on a TV or other device using a
conversion adapter. In this case, it is necessary
to use a TV or display with an HDCP-com pat i ble
DVI input.
• There may be no image output if con nect ed to
a TV or display that is not com pat i ble with the
above format.
• Refer to the instruction manual of the TV or
display to be connected to this unit for detailed
information regarding the HDMI terminal.
• When connecting a progressive input TV with the
component output of the player, select ON in
the Progressive setting (see page 44).

each end to connect
up digital coaxialtype jacks. Make
sure that the plug is
pushed fully home.
