The second press allows you to change the DVI output resolution. * The specific resolution of DVI output may not work depending on your TV. * Refer to the TV users manual.

Important Note

• DVI (Digital Visual Interface) DVI is an interface to enable the digital transmission of video signals between various digital devices. Using DVI, the DVD player transmits a digital video signal and displays a vivid picture on a TV having a DVI jack.

• Description of the DVI connection DVI-D connector : digital signal only. DVI-I connector : digital and analog signal.

• Though the player uses a DVI-I cable, the player outputs only a pure digital signal to the TV.

• If TV does not support HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital content protection), snow noise or blue screen appears

on the screen.

• Be careful that various connectors are similar to DVI connector, for example VESA PnD, VESA DFD and so on.

• Why does Samsung use DVI?

Analog TVs require an analog video signal. However, when playing a DVD, the data transmitted to a TV is digital. Therefore either a digital-to-analog converter(in the dvd 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. DVI 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-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) is a system for protecting DVD content outputted via 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.

PROGRESSIVE SCAN OUTPUT (525p/625p)

“CONSUMERS SHOULD NOTE THAT NOT ALL HIGH DEFINITION TELEVISION SETS ARE FULLY COMPATIBLE WITH THIS PRODUCT AND MAY CAUSE ARTIFACTS TO BE DISPLAYED IN THE PICTURE, IN CASE OF 525 OR 625 PROGRESSIVE SCAN PICTURE PROBLEMS, IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE USER SWITCH THE CONNECTION TO THE ‘STANDARD DEFINITION’ OUTPUT. IF THERE ARE QUESTIONS REGARDING OUR TV SET COMPATIBILITY WITH THIS MODEL 525p AND 625p DVD PLAYER, PLEASE CONTACT OUR CUSTOMER SERVICE CENTER.”

Before Play
