• We recommend that you use a commercially available HDMI
cable shorter than 5 meters (16 feet) with the HDMI logo
printed on it.
• Use a conversion cable (HDMI jack
↔
DVI-D jack) to connect
this unit to other DVI components.
• Do not disconnect or connect the cable or turn off the power of
the HDMI components connected to the HDMI OUT jack of
this unit while data is being transferred. Doing so may disrupt
playback or cause noise.
• The HDMI OUT jack outputs the audio signals input at the
HDMI input jacks only even if “SUPPORT AUDIO” is set to
“OTHER” (see page 85).
• If you turn off the power of the video monitor connected to the
HDMI OUT jack via a DVI connection, this unit may fail to
establish the connection to the component.
• The analog video signals input at the composite video, S-video
and component video jacks can be digitally up-converted to be
output at the HDMI OUT jack. Set “VIDEO CONV.” to “ON”
in “MANUAL SETUP” (see page 89) to activate this feature.
