After connecting a TV, follow the instructions on
page 10.
■
IMPORTANT
• Connect the main unit directly to a TV (or a mon-
itor) without routing through a video cassette
recorder (VCR). Otherwise picture distortion
may occur during playback. (Routing the con-
nection through a VCR, however, does not affect
the audio quality.)
• Connecting the main unit to a VCR-built-in-TV
may also cause picture distortion during play-
back.
This system can output uncompressed digital
video signals to a TV compatible with HDMI (High
Definition Multimedia Interface).
NOTE
• The HDMI video signal type can be checked with
the “HDMI” indicator in the display window.
(Refer to “Selecting the video signal type” on
page 10.)
• If the picture is distorted while an HDMI TV is
connected, turn off the main unit and turn it on
again.
• A TV compatible with HDCP (High-Bandwidth
Digital Content Protection) can also be con-
nected to the [HDMI MONITOR OUT] terminal,
so that the uncompressed HD video signal type
can be output as well.
• This system is compatible with some basic func-
tions of HDMI CEC. (Refer to page 50.)
