Copyright protection system
To play back the digital video images of a BD / DVD via an HDMI connection, it is necessary that both the unit and the TV
(or an AV receiver) support a copyright protection system called HDCP (high-bandwidth digital content protection
system). HDCP is copy protection technology that comprises data encryption and authentication of the connected AV
device. This unit supports HDCP. Please read the operating instructions of your TV (or AV receiver) for more information.
Note
• When using HDCP-incompatible TV, the image will not be viewed properly.
• The audio signals from HDMI OUT jack (including the sampling frequency, the number of channels and bit length) maybe
limited by the device that is connected.
• Among the devices that support HDMI, some do not support audio output (e.g. projectors). In connections with device
such as this unit, audio signals are not output from HDMI OUT jack.
• Video and audio signals may be distorted temporarily when switching to / from the HDMI output mode.
• You can change the HDMI output mode with [RESOLUTION] during playback as well. (This is not available during BD /
AVCHD playback.)
• You can also change the HDMI output mode from “HDMI Video Resolution” setting in “Video” menu. In this menu, you can
confirm what HDMI video resolutions are supported by connected TV. Refer to page 43.
• In order to get natural and high quality film reproduction of 24-frame film material, use an HDMI cable (High Speed HDMI
cable is recommended) and select “1080p24” if the connected TV is compatible with 1080p24 frame input.
• If the disc contains 1080p24 frame material, 60-frame image will be output unless “1080p24” is selected.
• For AVCHD, 24-frame film material will be output as 60 frame, even if the connected device is compatible with 1080p24
frame input and “HDMI Video Resolution” is set to “1080p24”, “Auto” or “Source Direct”.
• When “HDMI Video Resolution” is set to “1080p”, “1080p24” or “Source Direct”, the “Component Output” will be set to
“480i” automatically.
• If the video is not properly from HDMI OUT jack after you set the “HDMI Video Resolution” setting, change the HDMI video
resolution to the compatible resolution by pressing [RESOLUTION] or press and hold [B (play)] on the front panel for
more than 5 seconds to reset the setting.
• ”HDMI Deep Color” is available only when the display device is connected by HDMI cable and supports HDMI Deep Color.
• For “Auto” in “HDMI Deep Color”, using the High Speed HDMI cable is recommended.
• The closed caption of the BD which is recorded by 1080p24 frame is not output from VIDEO OUTPUT (COMPONENT) jacks
and VIDEO OUTPUT (VIDEO) jack when "HDMI Video Resolution" is set to "Auto", "Source Direct" or "1080p24".
