Copyright protection system
In order to play back digital video and audio such as BD-Video or DVD-Video via HDMI connection, both

bandwidth Digital Content Protection System). HDCP is copyright protection technology comprised of
data encryption and authentication of the connected AV device. This unit supports HDCP.
• If a device that does not support HDCP is connected, video and audio are not output correctly. Read
the owner’s manual of your television or player for more information.

Speed HDMI cable with Ethernet” for HDMI 1.4.
