mode when connecting an HDMI cable while power is on.
HDMI (High Defi nition Multimedia Interface)
HDMI is an interface that enables the digital transmission of video and audio data with just a single 
connector. Using HDMI, the product transmits a digital video and audio signal and displays a vivid picture

    -  If your TV does not support HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection), random noise appears 
on the screen.
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.
