Via HDMI input
To view 1080p output, make this connection.
HDMI transfers digital audio and uncompressed digital video
on a single cable. As a result, audio cables and video cables
don’t need to be connected separately to a device.
Note
• This player supports simultaneous output of video on its HDMI and component video ports. However, some discs may restrict output
of video on the component video ports when viewing high defi nition content or up-converted DVD content. The resolution on the
HDMI output will be the same as the resolution output on the component video output. Thus, because the HDMI output can change
automatically to match the maximum available resolution of your display, if you connect both the HDMI output and component output,
the resolution on the component output will change if the HDMI output auto-adjusts.
Notes
• When the HDMI connection is not verifi ed, an error message
appears on the front panel display. In this case, disconnect the
HDMI cable then connect it again, or turn off the connected HDMI
device then turn it on.
• HDMI output is digital only, DVI analog is not supported.
• HDMI is an evolving technology, so it is possible that some devices
may not operate properly with this player.
• To get the most possible benefi t from Dolby Digital Plus, you
should connect your HD DVD player to your AV receiver using its
HDMI input. If your AV receiver has this type of input, make sure it
is connected to your HD DVD player and that the input is set to use
audio from HDMI (and not the SPDIF coaxial or optical input). If
your AV receiver does not have an HDMI input, then the next best
choice is to use the SPDIF (coaxial or optical) input on your AV
receiver.
• If you use the SPDIF optical output or analog outputs to connect
your audio system and have the “Digital Out HDMI” (
page 22)
set to “Auto” or “PCM”, the audio output level from these jacks will
be reduced when listening to a multichannel disc. To restore the
audio output level, set “Digital Out HDMI” to “Downmixed PCM”.
• Be sure to confi rm compatibility of a cable when connecting a
Deep Color compatible display device.
When the output resolution (
page 21) is set to “480i” or “up to
1080p/24Hz”, Deep Color output is disabled.
Via component video input
• Connect the player directly to your TV. If you connect the player to a VTR, TV/VTR combination, video
selector or AV amplifi er, the playback picture may be distorted due to copy protection.
• Be sure to turn off the power and unplug both units from the wall outlet before making any connections.
This connection only sends video signals. Be sure to make audio
