HDMI/DVI input jack
Use a certified Sony HDMI cord to enjoy
high quality digital picture and sound through
the HDMI OUT jack.
When connecting to a Sony TV that is
compatible with the CONTROL FOR HDMI
function, see page 11.
When connecting to the HDMI OUT jack
Follow the steps below. Improper handling
may damage the HDMI OUT jack and
the connector.
1
Carefully align the HDMI OUT jack on
the back of the player and the HDMI
connector by checking their shapes.
Make sure the connector is not upside
down or tilted.
2
Insert the HDMI connector straight into
the HDMI OUT jack.
Do not bend or apply force to the HDMI
connector.
To connect to a TV with DVI input
Use an HDMI-DVI converter cord (not
supplied). The DVI jack will not accept any
audio signals, so you have to use another
audio connection in addition to this
connection (page 12). Furthermore, you
cannot connect the HDMI OUT jack to DVI
jacks that are not HDCP compliant (e.g., DVI
jacks on PC displays).
When connecting to a standard 4:3 screen TV
Some images may not fit your TV screen. To
change the picture size, see page 33.
b
• Do not connect a VCR, etc., between your TV and
the player. If you pass the player signals via the
VCR, you may not receive a clear image on the
TV screen. If your TV has only one audio/video
input jack, connect the player to this jack.
• If the picture appears too white when you are
using
A
connection, set “BLACK LEVEL” in
“SCREEN SETUP” to “OFF” (page 34).
• Be sure to disconnect the HDMI cord when
moving the player.
• Do not apply too much pressure to the cabinet
wall, if you place the player on the cabinet with
the HDMI cord connected. It may damage the
HDMI OUT jack or the HDMI cord.
• When connecting or disconnecting, do not screw
in or rotate the HDMI connector.
About the CONTROL FOR HDMI
functions for ‘BRAVIA Sync’ (for
HDMI connections only)
By connecting to Sony components that are
compatible with the CONTROL FOR HDMI
function with an HDMI cord (supplied with
DVP-NS710HP, DVP-NS718HP, and DVP-
NS728HP only), you can enjoy the following
features:
• One-Touch Play (page 17)
• System-Power Off
When you turn the TV off by using the
[
/
1
button
on the TV’s remote, the components compatible
with CONTROL FOR HDMI function turn off
automatically.
b
Depending on the connected component, the
CONTROL FOR HDMI function may not work.
Refer to the operating instructions supplied with the
component.
