USING HDMI USING HDMI What is HDMI? HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is the first industry-supported, uncompressed, all-digital A/V (audio/ video) interface. Providing an interface between any A/V source (such as a set-top box or A/V receiver) and an audio/video monitor (such as a digital television - DTV), HDMI supports standard, enhanced or high-definition video as well as multi-channel digital audio using a single cable. HDMI transmits all ATSC HDTV standards and supports 8-channel digital audio, with bandwidth to spare to accommodate future enhancements and requirements. When used in combination with HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection), HDMI provides a secure audio/video interface that meets the security requirements of content providers and system operators. For further information on HDMI, visit the HDMI website at "http://www.hdmi.org/". This unit's HDMI interface is based on the following standards: • HDMI 1.1 (High-Definition Multimedia Interface Specification Version 1.1) licensed by HDMI Licensing, LLC. • HDCP 1.1 (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection System Revision 1.1) licensed by Digital Content Protection, LLC.

Connect the HDMI OUT jack of this unit to the HDMI IN 1 or HDMI IN 2 jack of other components (such as a projector). • You need a commercially available HDMI cable to connect this unit to other HDMI-compatible components. Use a HDMI cable shorter than 5 m (15 ft) to ensure stable operations and to prevent losses of video quality. • This unit is not compatible with HDCP-incompatible HDMI or DVI components. • Use a conversion cable (HDMI jack ↔ DVI-D jack) to connect this unit to other DVI components. • Digital video signals input at the HDMI IN 1 or HDMI IN 2 jack cannot be output from analog video output jacks. • GUI displays or analog video signals input at video input jacks cannot be output at the HDMI OUT jack. To display analog video signals, connect them to analog video output jacks. • Audio signals input at input jacks other than the HDMI IN 1 or HDMI IN 2 of this unit cannot be digitally output at the HDMI OUT jack. • This unit is not compatible with multi-stereo area audio signals of Super Audio CDs. You can connect devices (such as a DVD player) to the i.LINK jack or the MULTI CH INPUT jacks. • When connected to a DVD player, audio signals may not be output depending on the type of the DVD player. In case the DVD player connected to this unit does not output DVD multichannel audio signals at the HDMI OUT jack, connect the DVD player to the i.LINK jack or analog multi-channel audio input jacks. • When CPPM copy-protected DVD audio plays back, video and audio signals may not be output depending on the type of the DVD player. • Video and audio signals input at the HDMI IN 1 or HDMI IN 2 jack cannot be output at the HDMI OUT jack when this unit is set to the standby mode or the power is turned off. • When connecting other HDMI components to this unit, refer to the instruction manuals for those components. • When HDMI audio signals are output from components like a DVD player, the audio signal format (such as sampling frequencies) may be restricted depending on the HDMI video signal format. • Do not disconnect or connect the HDMI cable from this unit or turn off the power of the HDMI/DVI components connected to the HDMI OUT jack of this unit while data is being transferred. Doing so may disrupt playback or cause noise. ■ HDMI compatibility with this unit Audio signal types 2ch Linear PCM Multi-ch Linear PCM Bitstream Audio signal formats 2ch, 32-192 kHz, 16/20/24 bit 5.1 ch, 32-96 kHz, 16/20/24 bit Dolby Digital, DTS Compatible HDMI components CD, DVD-Video, DVD-Audio, etc. DVD-Audio, etc. DVD-Video, etc. ADVANCED OPERATION 95
