There is no picture using the HDMI output.
How do I turn it on without being able to see the setup menu?
- If there is a disc in the D 3, remove it.
- Turn the D 3 Off and then back On
- On the remote control press:
SETUP – ENTER – – – ENTER.
The HDMI output should now be turned on and HDMI should be displayed on the D 3’s front panel.
Note: The “ ” symbol refers to the right cursor button, not the PLAY button.
Why is “HDMI” flashing on the front panel?
HDMI flashes when an HDMI cable is not connected between the D 3 and an HDMI TV. If you
are not using the HDMI output turn HDMI off in the VIDEO SETUP menu and it will stop flashing.
How long can the HDMI cable be from the D 3 to my TV?
The maximum HDMI cable distance will vary significantly between cable brands. Not all brands
are HDMI-certified and some may use inferior materials, making long runs impossible. When
an HDMI cable run is too long you may see pixels dropping out (snow over the picture) or the
picture may be completely blank. We have tested the D 3 with cable runs of over 50 feet (16.5
Meters) with some cable brands. If you need to go a longer distance we strongly recommend
the HDMI-certified Parasound Zhd five input switcher. You can find details on the Zhd at www.

What is HDCP?
HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) is a technology used with DVI and HDMI to
prevent unauthorized duplication of digital video and audio content. HDCP compliance is required
on all HDMI equipment and is an option with DVI equipment. Your TV must have HDCP or you
will not be able to use the D 3’s HDMI output.
