depending on your time of purchase as those
restrictions may be adopted and/or changed by

• HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface)
HDMI is an interface that enables the digital
transmission of video and audio data with just a
single connector.
Using HDMI, the Blu-ray disc 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 Bit Stream).
- HDMI outputs only a pure digital signal to the TV.
- If 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/DVD, the data
transmitted to a TV is digital. Therefore either a
digital-to-analog converter (in the Blu-ray disc
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/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.
Connecting to an Audio System
(2 Channel Amplifier)
1. Using the audio cables, connect the AUDIO (red and
white) OUT terminals on the rear of the Blu-ray disc
player to the AUDIO (red and white) IN terminals of
your Amplifier.
2. Using the video signal cable(s), connect the VIDEO, S-VIDEO, COMPONENT or HDMI OUT terminals on
the rear of the Blu-ray disc player to the VIDEO, S-VIDEO, COMPONENT or HDMI IN terminal of your
TV as described on pages 18 to 20.
3.Turn on the Blu-ray disc player, TV and Amplifier.
4. Press the input select button of the Amplifier to select
external input in order to hear sound from the
Blu-ray disc player. Refer to your Amplifier's user
manual to set the Amplifier's audio input.
