Common Connections
Connecting to an A/V Receiver via HDMI

If your Receiver has HDMI functions and supports 4K HDR video transmission, you will only have to
connect the HDMI OUT (Main) port of the player to the power amplifier using an HDMI cable, and start
HDMI video transmission on the power amplifier (for more information, refer to the user manual for
receivers). Generally, the power amplifier is equipped with HDMI output, and can be connected to a display
device to transmit video signals.

Some power amplifiers have both HDMI 2.0 and HDMI 1.4 ports. To normally watch 4K contents, please
connect this product to 4K UHD TV input ports which are compatible with HDMI 2.0 and HDCP 2.2.
Notes

HDMI (high-definition multimedia interface) can simultaneously transmit audios and videos from the player
to a display device. However, please beware that HDMI standards are still in the stage of constant
improvement, so they might still have problems in terms of compatibility. The power amplifier must be
compatible with HDMI audio inputs. Certain power amplifiers only provide HDMI for video switching. If
the power amplifier has no function for audio input, please refer to other related connection methods
described below.

For blue-ray discs, it is better to use power amplifiers with Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio
decoding functions which are compatible with HDMI v1.4.

For 4K blue-ray discs, please use power amplifiers compatible with HDMI 2.0 and HDCP 2.2 or higher
versions. It is recommended that superior high-speed (18Gbps) HDMI cable should be used for guaranteeing
watching of 4K UHD videos.

The formats supported by this product range from the latest object-oriented surround sound from source
codes to decoding formats, including Dolby Atmos and DTS:X.

Please check specifications of your power amplifiers to make sure of satisfying these needs.
