uncompressed digital audio and video signal is transmitted,
enabling you to enjoy high quality digital video and audio with
just one cable. When connecting to an HDMI-compatible HDTV
(High Defi nition Television), the output can be switched to
1080p, 1080i or 720p HD video.
Notes
If connecting to equipment that is only compatible
with 2 channels output, audio with 3 channels or more
will be down-mixed ( 84) and output as 2 channels
(some discs cannot be down-mixed).
For display units compatible with HDCP (High
bandwidth Digital Content Protection) that are
equipped with a digital DVI input terminal (PC
monitors, etc.):
Depending on the unit, images may not display
properly or at all when connecting with a DVI/HDMI
switching cable (audio cannot be output).
Usually you can watch video from HDMI input on TV.

DVD, switch to input 1 on TV.
