Connecting to a TV with an HDMI (High Defi nition Multimedia Interface) terminal
HDMI is the next-generation interface for digital devices. When connected to an HDMI compatible unit, an uncompressed digital audio and video
signal is transmitted. You can enjoy high quality, digital video and audio with just one cord. When connecting to an HDMI-compatible HDTV (High
Defi nition Television), the output can be switched to 1080i or 720p HD video.
When using this connection, it is not necessary to connect with the Video cable, S video cable or Component video cable shown on pages 6–8.
For units compatible with HDCP (High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection) copyright protection that are equipped with a digital DVI input
terminal (PC monitors, etc.):
Depending on the unit, images may not display properly or at all when connecting with a DVI/HDMI switching cable. (Audio cannot be output.)
Please use an HDMI cable that has the HDMI logo (as shown on the cover ).
Do not connect any kind of audio/video distribution devices between the main unit and the TV (such as an amplifi er, etc.).
