HDMI AUTO DETECTION FUNCTION
The player's video output will automatically change to HDMI mode when connecting an HDMI cable while power is
on (see page 40).
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 Blu-ray Disc Player’s output is set to
HDMI/DVI automatically within 10 seconds.
If Component and HDMI are both connected, HDMI mode is automatically selected. (See page 40)
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 Blu-ray Disc 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 41~42)
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 Blu-ray Disc 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/DVD, the data
transmitted to a TV is digital. Therefore either a digital-to-analog converter (in the Blu-ray Disc 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/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 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.
