- If an HDMI or HDMI-DVI cable is plugged into your TV, the DVD player’s output is set to HDMI automati-
cally about 10 seconds later.

• HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface)
HDMI enables you to make a digital video and audio connection with a single cable. Using HDMI, the
DVD player transmits a digital video and audio signal which displays a vivid picture on a TV having an
HDMI input jack.
• HDMI connection description
HDMI connector - Video and audio are transferred digitally without compression (LPCM or Bit Stream data).
-
The player outputs a pure digital signal to the TV through an HDMI cable.
- If your TV does not support HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection), snow noise appears on the screen.
TV.
• Why does Samsung use HDMI?
Analog TVs require an analog video/audio signal. However, when this player plays a DVD, it initially creates a
digital signal. For an analog TV to use this signal, it must be converted to an analog signal, using either a
digital-to-analog converter in the DVD player or an analog-to-digital converter in the TV. During this conversion, the picture quality is degraded due to noise and signal loss. HDMI technology is superior because it
requires no conversion and is a pure digital signal from the player to your TV.
• What is HDCP?
HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) is a system for protecting DVD content outputted via
HDMI/DVI 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.
B. Connecting to a TV Using the Component Jacks (Progressive/ Interlace)
-
Connecting through the Component jacks lets you view video at the 480p (Progressive Scan) resolution.
- What is "Progressive Scan"?
Progressive scan has twice as many scanning lines per frame as interlaced (480i) output and provides
better and clearer picture quality.
1.
Using Component video cables (not included), connect the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT (PR, PB and Y)
jacks on the rear of the DVD player to the COMPONENT IN (PR, PB and Y) jacks of your TV.
2.
Using the audio cables, connect the AUDIO (red and white) OUT jacks on the rear of the DVD player to
the AUDIO (red and white) IN jacks of your TV. Turn on the DVD player and TV.
3.
Set the Video Output to P-SCAN/I-SCAN in the Display Setup menu. You can also use the VIDEO SEL.
button to change the Video Output mode.
4.
Press the input selector button on your TV remote control until the Component signal from the DVD player
appears on the TV screen.
C. Connecting to a TV Using the Video Jack (Video)
1.
Using Video/Audio cables, connect the VIDEO (yellow)/AUDIO (red and white) OUT jacks on the rear of
the DVD player to the VIDEO (yellow)/AUDIO (red and white) IN jacks of your TV.
2.
Turn on your DVD player and TV.
3.
Press the input selector button on your TV remote control until the Video signal from the DVD player
appears on the TV screen.
