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
settings menu. (refer to page 44.)
• 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.
• When this unit’s HDMI OUT jack is connected to a DVI-D compatible display device(s) (HDCP compatible) with an
HDMI-DVI converter cable, the signals are output in digital RGB.
1) Connect the speaker cables to the matching color sockets on the speakers.
2) Connect all the speakers and subwoofer to the matching sockets at the rear of the main unit.
Make sure that the colors of the cables and sockets are matched.
Note
• To prevent unwanted noise, never place the speakers too close to the main unit, subwoofer, AC power adapter, TV or
any other radiation sources.
