HDMI AUTO DETECTION FUNCTION

The player's video output will automatically change to HDMI output resolution when connecting an HDMI cable while power is on (see page 42).

Depending on your TV, certain HDMI output resolutions may not work.

Please refer to the user's manual of your TV.

resolution will be automatically set to the highest provided by the TV. If you connect a Samsung TV to the Duo HD player using an HDMI cable, the player can be easily operated



using the TV remote control. (This is only available with Samsung TVs that support the Anynet+ feature.) (See pages 43~44)

HDMI (High Deﬁ nition Multimedia Interface)

•

HDMI is an interface that enables the digital transmission of video and audio data with just a single connector. Using HDMI, the Duo HD 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/HD DVD/DVD, the data ransmitted to a TV is digital. Therefore either a digital-to-analog converter (in the Duo HD 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/HD DVD/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

- 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.
