							Connecting external devices
HDMI connection
The HDMI connections permit digital video and audio 
transmission via a connection cable from a player/
recorder. 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.
DVI/HDMI conversion
Using a cable DVI/HDMI, the digital signals of a DVD 
video, can be also reproduced through a compatible 
HDMI connection. The sound should be supplied 
additionally.
• On connecting a DVI/HDMI cable to the HDMI terminal, may 
be the picture does not become visualized clearly.
• Both HDMI and DVI use the same method of HDCP protection 
against copy.
• For connecting a DVI cable, a commercially available adaptor 
(not supplied) is necessary.
NOTE
• Depending on the type of HDMI cable used, it may appear 
a video noise. Be sure to use a certified HDMI cable. 
• On reproducing HDMI picture, the best format is 
automatically detected and adjusted for the picture
.
