Connecting the DV-SP405—Continued
Using HDMI
If you have a HDMI equipped monitor or display, you
can connect it to this player using a commercially avail-
able HDMI cable.
The HDMI connector outputs uncompressed digital
video, as well as almost every kind of digital audio that
the player is compatible with, including DVD-Video,
Video CD, CD, WMA, MP3, MPEG-4 AAC, DivX and
WMV.
• Use an HDMI cable to connect the HDMI OUT inter-
connect on this player to an HDMI interconnect on a
HDMI-compatible monitor.
• The arrow on the cable connector body should be face
up for correct alignment with the connector on the
player.
Notes:
• The player has been designed to be compliant with
HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface).
Depending on the component you have connected,
using a DVI connection may result in unreliable signal
transfers.
• When you change the component connected to the
HDMI output, you will also need to change the HDMI
settings to match the new component (see “HDMI
Out” on page 45, “HDMI Resolution” on page 46 and
“HDMI Color” on page 46 to do this).
However, the settings for each component are then
stored in memory (for up to 2 components).
• The HDMI connection is compatible with 44.1 kHz/
48 kHz, 16 bit/20 bit/24 bit 2 channel linear PCM sig-
nals, as well as Doldy Digital, DTS and MPEG audio
bitstream.
About HDMI
HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) supports
both video and audio on a single digital connection for
use with DVD players, DTV, set-top boxes, and other AV
devices. HDMI was developed to provide the technolo-
gies of High Bandwidth Digital Content Protection
(HDCP) as well as Digital Visual Interface (DVI) in one
specification. HDCP is used to protect digital content
transmitted and received by DVI-compliant displays.
HDMI has the capability to support standard, enhanced,
or high-definition video plus standard to multi-channel
surround-sound audio. HDMI features include uncom-
pressed digital video, a bandwidth of up to 5 gigabytes
per second (with HDTV signals), one connector (instead
of several cables and connectors), and communication
between the AV source and AV devices such as DTVs.
