HDMI AUTO DETECTION FUNCTION
The player's video output will automatically change to HDMI output resolution when connecting an HDMI cable
while power is on (see page 42).
Depending on your TV, certain HDMI output resolutions may not work.
Please refer to the user's manual of your TV.
If an HDMI or HDMI-DVI cable is connected from the player to a TV, the Duo HD player’s output is set to HDMI/
DVI output resolution automatically within 10 seconds.
If Component and HDMI are both connected, HDMI mode is automatically selected. (See page 42)
When you connect the player to the TV using the HDMI cable for the fi rst time or to a new TV, the HDMI output
resolution will be automatically set to the highest provided by the TV.
If you connect a Samsung TV to the Duo HD player using an HDMI cable, the player can be easily operated
using the TV remote control. (This is only available with Samsung TVs that support the Anynet+ feature.) (See
pages 43~44)
HDMI (High Defi nition Multimedia Interface)
HDMI is an interface that enables the digital transmission of video and audio data with just a single
connector.
Using HDMI, the Duo HD player transmits a digital video and audio signal and displays a vivid picture
on a TV having an HDMI input jack.
HDMI connection description
HDMI connector - Supports video and digital audio data (LPCM or Bitstream).
- HDMI outputs only a pure digital signal to the TV.
- If your TV does not support HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection), random noise
appears on the screen.
Why does Samsung use HDMI?
Analog TVs require an analog video/audio signal. However, when playing a BD/HD DVD/DVD, the
data ransmitted to a TV is digital. Therefore either a digital-to-analog converter (in the Duo HD player)
or an analog-to-digital converter (in the TV) is required. During this conversion, the picture quality is
degraded due to noise and signal loss. HDMI technology is superior because it requires no D/A
conversion and is a pure digital signal from the player to your TV.
What is the HDCP?
HDCP (High-band width Digital Content Protection) is a system for protecting BD/HD DVD/DVD
content outputted via HDMI from being copied. It provides a secure digital link between a video
source (PC, DVD. etc) and a display device (TV, projector . etc). Content is encrypted at the source
device to prevent unauthorized copies from being made.
What is Anynet+?
Anynet+ is a convenient function that offers linked operation of this unit through Samsung TVs with the
Anynet+ feature.
- If your Samsung TV has an
logo, then it supports the Anynet+ function.
- If you turn on the player and insert a disc, the player will start playing the disc, and the TV will turn on
automatically and switch to HDMI mode.
- If you turn on the player and press the Play button with a disc already inserted,the TV will
immediately turn on and switch to HDMI mode.
