Copyright protection system
To play back the digital video images of a BD / DVD via an HDMI connection, it is necessary that both the unit and the TV
(or an AV receiver) support a copyright p rotection system called HDCP (high-bandwidth digital content p rotection system).
HDCP is copy p rotection technology that comprises data encryption and authentication of the connected AV device. This
unit supports HDCP. Plea s e read the operating instructio ns of your TV (or AV re ceiver) for more information.
Note
• When using HDCP-incompatible TV, the image will not be viewed properly.
•The audio signals from HDMI OUT jack (including the sampling frequency, the number of channels and bit length)
maybe limited by the device that is connected.
• Among the devices that support HDMI, some
do not support audio output (e.g. projectors). In connections with
device such as this unit, audio signals are not output from HDMI OUT jack.
• Video and audio signals may be distorted temporarily when switching to / from the HDMI output mode.
• You can also change the HDMI
output mode from “HDMI Video Resolution” setting in “Video” menu. In this menu,
you can confirm what HDMI video resolutions are supported by connected TV. Refer to page 42.
• You can change the HDMI output mode with [RESOLUTION] during playback as well. (This is not available during
BD/AVCHD playback.)
• In order to get natural and high quality film reproduction of 24-frame film material, use HDMI cable (High Speed
HDMI cable is recommended) and select “1080p24”, “Auto” or “Source Direct” if the connected display
device is
compatible with 1080p24 frame input.
• If the disc contains 1080p24 frame material, 60-frame or 50- f rame im age will be output unless “1080p 24” is selected.
• For AVCHD and DivX
®
, 24-frame film material will be output as 60 frame, even if the connected device is
compatible with 1080p24 frame input and “HDMI Video Resolution” is set to “1080p24”, “Auto” or “Source Direct”.
• When “HDMI Video Resolution” is set to “1080p”, “1080p24” or “Source
Direct”, the “Component Output” will be set
to “480i/576i” automatically.
• If the video is not properly from HDMI OUT jack after you set the “HDMI Video Resolution” setting, change the
HDMI video resolution to the compatible resolution by pressing [RESOLUTION] or press
and hold [B (play)] on
the front panel for more than 5 seconds to reset the setting.
