This is only available with SAMSUNG TVs that support Anynet+(HDMI-CEC). Please check the logo (If your TV has an logo, then it supports the Anynet+ function.) HDMI Auto Detection Function(optional) The players video output will automatically change to HDMI mode when connecting an HDMI cable while power is on. HDMI (High De 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 DVD Home Cinema 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? • Analog TVs require an analog video/audio signal. However, when playing a DVD, the data transmitted to a TV is digital. Therefore either a digital-to-analog converter (in the DVD Home Cinema) 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. 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 TVs with the Anynet+ feature. - If your Samsung TV has an logo, then it supports the Anynet+ function. - If you turn on the player and insert a 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 disc already inserted, the TV will immediately turn on and switch to HDMI mode. HDMI FUNCTION(optional) Resolution Selection This function allows the user to select the screen resolution for HDMI output. In Stop mode, press and hold the SD/HD (Standard De nition/ High De nition) button on the remote control. Resolutions available for the HDMI output are 576p(480p), • 720p, 1080i/1080p. SD(Standard De nition) resolution is 576p(480p) and HD • (High De nition) resolution is 720p, 1080i/1080p. MIf the TV does not support the con gured resolution, you will not be able to see the picture properly. When a HDMI cable is connected, composite and component video signals are not output. See your TV owners manual for more information on how to select the TVs Video Input source. Why use HDMI (High De nition Multimedia Interface)? This device transmits a DVD video signal digitally without the process of converting to analog. You will get sharper digital pictures when using an HDMI connection.
