CONNECTING THE PLAYER
HDMI can transmit both audio and video signals over a single cable. If you
have an HDMI capable receiver that can support HDMI audio, you can simply
run an HDMI cable from the player to your receiver and enable HDMI audio
on the receiver (see your receiver’s owners’ manual for more information).
The receiver usually has an HDMI output that you can connect to your TV to
pass the video signal.
HDMI is a wonderful thing. A single cable can transport both audio AND video
from your player to your display. Be aware, however, that HDMI is an
evolving standard, and there could be compatibility issues. A receiver that
supports audio input over HDMI is required.
Some receivers offer HDMI ports solely for video switching. If your receiver
does not have audio input capability, please read the following sections
regarding other connection methods.
In order to play multi-channel audio for all formats, the receiver must support
HDMI v1.1 or later. For Blu-ray Disc, a receiver that supports HDMI v1.3 with
decoding capability for Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio is preferred.
Please check the specifications of your receiver to ensure that it meets the
requirements.
Due to bandwidth limitations, high resolution audio formats such as Dolby
Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD High Resolution and DTS-HD Master
Audio cannot be sent through the coaxial digital audio output. A reduced
resolution version of the same audio track will be output instead. To listen to
high resolution audio formats in their best quality, please use the HDMI
connection if you have a receiver that handles HDMI audio.
Due to copyright restrictions and bandwidth limitations, full resolution audio
from DVDAudio discs cannot be sent through the coaxial or optical digital
audio output. To listen to DVD-Audio in full resolution, please use the HDMI
or analogue audio connections.
