Completely insert the connection cord plugs when connecting to rear panel jacks. The picture and sound that is played back will be abnormal if the connection is loose. 2. The DVI-HDTV input on INPUT 1 contains the copy protection system called High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP). HDCP is a cryptographic system that encrypts video signals when using DVI connections to prevent illegal copying of video contents. 3. DVI 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 DVI interface so proper set-up of device user settings determines final video appearance. 16
