Connecting using a commercially
available HDMI cable
The audio and video signals can be transferred to HDMI-compatible
devices as digital signals with no loss of sound or video quality. After
connecting, make the settings at the Setup Navigator menu
according to the connected HDMI-compatible device (page 20).
Also refer to the operating instructions of the device being
connected.
Note
• The HDMI indicator on the player’s front panel lights when video
signals are being output from the HDMI OUT terminal.
(Depending on the connected device, in some cases it may only
light when the player is selected as the device’s input.)
• 1080p video signals may not be output, depending on the HDMI
cable being used.
Caution
• Hold the plug when connecting and disconnecting the cable.
• Placing a load on the plug could result in faulty contact and no
video signals being output.
