• Use a 19-pin HDMI cable with the HDMI logo printed on it.
A cable with a maximum length of 5 m (16 ft) is
recommended to prevent degradation of signal quality.
• Use of a flat HDMI cable may make installing the center
unit difficult because the cable will be bent by the bottom of
the center unit when connected. Confirm the layout and
position of jacks on the center unit before choosing an
appropriate HDMI cable.
• This unit supports HDCP version 2.2, a copy protection
technology. For playback of 4K video, connect the unit to
the HDMI input jack (one compatible with HDCP 2.2) on an
HDCP 2.2-compliant TV, and to the HDMI output jack on a
HDCP 2.2-compliant BD/DVD player.
