HDMI connection
The HDMI connections (High Defi nition Multimedia
Interface) permit digital video and audio transmission
via a connection cable from a player.
The digital picture and sound data are transmitted
without data compression and therefore lose none of
their quality. Analogue/digital conversion is no longer
necessary in the connected devices, which also would
result in quality losses.
HDMI/DVI conversion
Using a DVI/HDMI adapter cable, the digital video
signals of a DVD can also be played via the compatible
HDMI connection. The sound must be fed in
additionally. (Page 10)
HDMI and DVI both use the same copy protection
method HDCP.
NOTE
• Video noise may occur depending on the type of HDMI
cable used. Make sure to use certifi ed HDMI cable.
• When playing the HDMI image, the best possible format for
the picture will be detected and set automatically.
