About HDMI
HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) is a digital
interface standard for connecting TVs, projectors, Blu-
ray Disc/DVD players, set-top boxes, and other video
components. Until now, several separate video and audio
cables have been required to connect AV components. With
HDMI, a single cable can carry control signals and digital
audio of digital video (2-channel PCM, multichannel digital
audio, and multichannel PCM).
The HDMI video stream (i.e., video signal) is compatible
with DVI (Digital Visual Interface) (
¼
1), so TVs and displays
with a DVI input can be connected by using an HDMI-to-
DVI adapter cable. (This may not work with some TVs and
displays, resulting in no picture.)
This unit supports HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content
Protection) (
¼
2), so it can display picture only on HDCP-
compatible components.
HDMI of the unit supports the following functions.
Audio Return Channel, 3D, x.v.Color, DeepColor, Lip Sync,
4K (Upscaling and Passthrough).

Your Blu-ray Disc/DVD player must also support HDMI
output of the above audio formats.
About Copyright Protection
:
The unit supports Revision 1.4 and Revision 2.2 (HDMI
OUT MAIN and HDMI IN3 only) of the HDCP (High-
bandwidth Digital Content Protection) (
¼
2), a copy-
protection system for digital video signals. Other devices
connected to the unit must also support HDCP.
¼
1 DVI (Digital Visual Interface): The digital display interface standard set
by the DDWG (
¼
3) in 1999.
¼
2 HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection): The video
encryption technology developed by Intel for HDMI/DVI. It is designed
to protect video content and requires a HDCP-compatible HDMI/DVI
receiver to display the encrypted video.
¼
3 DDWG (Digital Display Working Group): Lead by Intel, Compaq,
Fujitsu, Hewlett Packard, IBM, NEC, and Silicon Image, this open
industry group’s objective is to address the industry’s requirements for
a digital connectivity specification for high-performance PC and digital
displays.
Note
:
r
There are some content that can be played only with HDCP Rev.
2.2 compatible devices. To play such content, connect an HDCP
Rev.2.2 compatible TV or player to the HDMI OUT MAIN jack or
HDMI IN3 jack of the unit.
r
The HDMI video stream (i.e., video signal) is compatible with
DVI (Digital Visual Interface), so TVs and displays with a DVI
input can be connected by using an HDMI-to-DVI adapter cable.
(Note that DVI connections only carry video, so you will need
to make a separate connection for audio.) However, reliable
operation with such an adapter is not guaranteed. In addition,
video signals from a PC are not supported.
r
The HDMI audio signal (sampling rate, bit length, etc.) may be
restricted by the connected source component. If the picture
is poor or there is no sound from a component connected via
HDMI, check its setup. Refer to the connected component’s
instruction manual for details.
Supported Video Resolution of HDMI OUT MAIN/
SUB Jacks
See below the video signal types and resolutions that the
unit can output when it receives the input signals of the
following types and resolutions. The supported resolutions
are shown as "Input: Output".
