digital audio and video signal input/output.

• We recommend that you use a commercially available HDMI cable shorter

than 5 meters (16 feet) with the HDMI logo printed on it.

• Use a conversion cable (HDMI jack

↔

DVI-D jack) to connect this unit to

other DVI components.

• You can check the potential problem about the HDMI connection (see

page 114).

• See page 168 for the information on the input signal capability of this unit

for the HDMI connection.

• When you set “Standby Through” in “Manual Setup” to “On”, this unit

allows the HDMI signals input at an HDMI IN jack to pass through this
unit and output at an HDMI OUT jack (see page 113).

• Do not disconnect or connect the cable or turn off the power of the HDMI

components connected to the HDMI OUT jacks of this unit while data is
being transferred. Doing so may disrupt playback or cause noise.

• The HDMI OUT jacks output the audio signals input at the HDMI input

jacks only when “Support Audio” is set to “Other” (see page 113).

• If you turn off the power of the video monitor connected to the HDMI

OUT jacks via a DVI connection, this unit may fail to establish the
connection to the component.

• The analog video signals input at the composite video, S-video and

component video jacks can be digitally up-converted to be output at the
HDMI OUT jacks. Set “Conversion” to “On” in “Manual Setup” (see
page 107) to activate this feature.

• This unit is equipped with two HDMI OUT jacks, however cannot output

the video signals to the both HDMI OUT jacks simultaneously. You can
select the active HDMI OUT jack. See page 54 for details.
