Home Theater connections
HDMI stands for High-Definition Multimedia Interface.
• HDMI enables you to transmit digital audio and video signals using a single cable.
You can also transmit control signals using HDMI connections (
á
page 19).
• HDMI enables you to digitally transmit multi-channel sounds in DVD-Audio.
• The [HDMI] indicator stays on while you enjoy sounds and pictures through
HDMI connections.
Connection cable (All cables are sold separately)
• Make connections instructed in “To enjoy high-quality analog
sounds using DVD-Audio discs (DVD analog 6-channel
connections)” (
á
page 8) and perform DVD analog 6-channel
playback (
á
page 18) when the DVD recorder or DVD player
you connected is unable to make digital output of multi-
channel sounds in DVD-Audio (e.g. HDMI Ver. 1.0 equipment).
• You can enjoy Home Theater features easily by pressing [ONE
TOUCH PLAY] on this unit’s remote control when you connect the
unit through HDMI to a Panasonic TV (VIERA) or DVD recorder
(DIGA) available for HDAVI Control operations (
á
page 19).
• The audio signal transmitted through HDMI takes priority
when you use both HDMI and digital terminals (
á
pages 6 and
7) for connection.
