The HDMI input on INPUT 1 and 2 contains the copy protection system called High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP). HDCP is a cryptographic system that encrypts video signals when using HDMI connections to prevent illegal copying of video contents. 3. HDMI is not a "NETWORK" technology. It establishes a one-way point-to-point connection for delivery of uncompressed video to a display. 4. The connected digital output device controls the HDMI interface so proper setup of device user settings determines final video appearance. 5. When using a DVI to HDMI cable, connect the Audio Out L and R cables at the same INPUT (1 or 2) as your HDMI INPUT (1 or 2).
