ENGLISH (7) HDMI connections A simple 1-cable connection (using a commercially available cable) with a device having an HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) connector allows digital transfer of the digital images of DVD video and other sources, DVD video, and the multi-channel sound of DVD audio. DVD-2910/955 HDMI Input connector Audio recording format DVD Dolby digital video DTS DVD Audio LPCM or P.PCM (with CPPM) LPCM or P.PCM (without CPPM) Video CD CD MP3 CD WMA CD Setting of HDMI 2CH MULTI (NORMAL) MULTI (LPCM) 2 channel PCM 2 channel PCM Dolby digital DTS Multi PCM Multi PCM X X X 2 channel PCM 2 channel PCM 2 channel PCM 2 channel PCM 2 channel PCM Multi PCM 2 channel PCM 2 channel PCM 2 channel PCM 2 channel PCM Multi PCM 2 channel PCM 2 channel PCM 2 channel PCM 2 channel PCM HDMI cable (commercially available) Monitor equipped with HDMI input connectors Super Audio CD Multi area Stereo area CD layer X X 2 channel PCM X X 2 channel PCM X X 2 channel PCM ✽ The multi-channel/stereo area sound of Super Audio CD is not output. ✽ The video and audio signals cannot be output when playing DVD AUDIO with CPPM. Connection Examples for HDMI AUDIO SETUP HDMI-supported monitor or projector, etc. (2-channel support or no audio support) • 2CH Use this connection when you would like to enjoy the multi-channel audio output from an analog audio output connector. HDMI-supported monitor/AV amplifier, etc. (Supports DTS and Dolby Digital decoders) • MULTI (NORMAL)···Use this connection when you would like to enjoy the multi-channel audio output from an HDMI connector and you wish to have a DTS, Dolby Digital, or other decoder connected to do the processing. (Speaker and other settings are not required.) HDMI-supported monitor (Supports audio input for 2 or more channels) • MULTI (LPCM Use this connection when you would like to enjoy the multi-channel output from an HDMI connector and the connection point does not support a DTS, Dolby Digital, or other decoder. (Speaker settings are permitted.) NOTES: • HDMI audio output settings permit the selection of either 2 channels or multi-channels. When selecting multi (NORMAL) or MULTI (LPCM), a down-mixed audio signal is only output from the analog connectors (Left/Right and Front Left/Front Right) of the DVD-2910/955. To output multi-channel sound from the analog audio output connectors, set HDMI to OFF, or select 2CH. • When the HDMI audio setting is set to multi-channel, the "AUDIO CHANNEL", "DIGITAL OUTPUT", "LPCM (44.1 kHz/48 kHz)", "SOURCE DIRECT", and "BASS ENHANCER" under "AUDIO SETUP". • The HDMI audio output is turned off if the digital output is set to "OFF" at "PURE DIRECT", and the HDMI video and audio output are both turned off if the video output is set to "OFF" or if "ALL OFF" is set. (See Pages 43, 44.) Also note that it will not be possible to select the setting of digital output, when selecting "MULTI (NORMAL)" at "HDMI AUDIO SETUP". • When selecting MULTI (NORMAL) or MULTI (LPCM), the DVD-2910/955 speaker settings under "AUDIO SETUP"become invalid. • When playing a Super Audio CD with an HDMI connection, audio cannot be transferred beyond the CD layer. Make an analog connection for this. • Among the devices that support HDMI, some devices can control other devices via the HDMI connector; however, the DVD-2910/955 cannot be controlled by another device vice the HDMI connector. • When using display equipment that is not supported by the HDCP (content protection function), the image will not be output properly. (See the compatibility table.) • The audio signals from the HDMI connector (including the sampling frequency and bit length) may be limited by the equipment that is connected. 16
