If you have an HDMI-capable receiver that can support HDMI audio, you can simply run an HDMI
cable from the player to your receiver and enable HDMI audio on the receiver (see your receiver’s
owner’s manual for more information). The receiver usually has an HDMI output that you can
connect to your TV to pass the video signal.

Either of the HDMI output terminals (HDMI 1 OUT and/or HDMI 2 OUT) on the rear panel of the
P
BD

can be connected to your receiver. Preference should be given to the HDMI 1 output for
video since it is the only output to benefit from the superior Marvell QDEO video processor.
NOTE
HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is a single cable that can transport both audio and
video from your player to your display. Be aware, however, that HDMI is an evolving standard, and
there may be compatibility issues. A receiver that supports audio input over HDMI is required.
Some receivers offer HDMI ports solely for video switching. If your receiver does not have audio
input capability, please read the following sections regarding other connection methods.
In order to play multi-channel audio for all formats, the receiver must support HDMI v1.1 or later.
For Blu-ray Discs, a receiver that supports HDMI v1.4 with decoding capability for Dolby TrueHD
and DTS-HD Master Audio is preferred. Please check the specifications of your receiver to ensure
that it meets these requirements.
The HDMI outputs on the
P
BD

are HDMI v1.4, which are compatible with HDMI v1.3 and
earlier versions.
