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 Micro Component System 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.

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?

•

Analogueue TV's require an Analogueue video/audio signal. However, when playing a DVD, the data transmitted to a
TV is digital. Therefore either a digital-to-Analogueue converter (in the Micro Component System) or an Analogueue­to-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 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 TV's with the Anynet+
feature.

If your Samsung TV has an —
If you turn on the player and insert a DVD 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 DVD disc already inserted, the TV will immediately turn on —
