Connecting to a TV with an HDMI 
Compatible Port (for DVD or Tuner)
[HDMI CONNECTION]
A simple 1-cable connection with a device having an 
HDMI (high-definition multimedia interface) connector 
allows digital transfer of both digital video signals and 
multi-channel audio signals. This is the best method 
to connect this unit. It can minimise the deterioration 
of image quality.
Use the HDMI cable (commercially available) for 
connection.
Connect the HDMI output jack of this unit to the HDMI 
input jack of TV.
Selecting HDMI mode
Press [HDMI] to select the HDMI output mode. The 
output mode changes as follows every time [HDMI] is 
pressed. 576p (PAL) / 480p (NTSC) J 720p J 1080i 
J 1080p (An HDMI mode that is not supported by the 
display device will be skipped.)
Actual Output Modes by Media
For Audio CD, Video CD and MP3 files, 2 channel 
PCM will be output regardless of the “Dolby Digital” 
setting.If the connected device is not compatible with HDMI 
BITSTREAM, audio will be output as PCM even if you 
select “Stream” in “Dolby Digital” setting.
(See page 79.)
Copyright protection system
To play back the digital video images of a DVD via an 
HDMI connection, it is necessary that both the player 
and the display device (or an AV amplifier) support a 
copyright protection system called HDCP (high-
bandwidth digital content protection system). HDCP is 
copy protection technology that comprises data 
encryption and authentication of the connected AV 
device. This unit supports HDCP. Please read the 
operating instructions of your display device (or AV 
amplifier) for more information.
*HDMI: High Definition Multimedia Interface
Note
• Because HDMI is an evolving technology, it is 
possible that some devices with an HDMI input may 
not operate properly with this unit.
• When using an HDCP-incompatible display device, 
the image will not be viewed properly.
• This unit does not support Regza link or CEC 
control.
• The audio signals from the HDMI connector 
(including the sampling frequency, the number of 
channels and bit length) may be limited by the 
device that is connected.
• Among the monitors that support HDMI, some do 
not support audio output (for example, projectors). 
In connections with device such as this unit, audio 
signals are not output from the HDMI output 
connector.
• When this unit’s HDMI connector is connected to a 
DVI-D compatible monitor (HDCP compatible) with 
an HDMI-DVI converter cable, the signals are output 
in digital RGB.
• If the connected equipment is not compatible with 
HDMI BITSTREAM, DTS sound will not be output.
• When the power failure occurs, or when you unplug 
the unit, some problems in the HDMI setting might 
occur.
Please check and set the HDMI setting again.
Connecting to an External Equipment
This unit has four input terminals which can be 
selected using [INPUT SELECT  ] on the remote 
control, AV1 or AV2 on the rear panel and AV3 or DV 
(AV4) on the front panel. Be sure that all the units are 
off before making connections.
