Depending on the component you have connected, unreliable signal transfers may result.
• If you connect a DVI device to the HDMI output of this player, ensure that it is compliant with
High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP).
• If the front panel HDMI indicator is unlit then:
– Make sure that you’ve selected this player as the HDMI input in the settings for the component
you’re using. You may need to refer to the instruction manual of the component to do this.
– Check that the HDMI cable is connected properly and that the cable isn’t damaged.

bitstream output is allowed). If the HDMI device is not compatible, the audio will be converted into
D1olby Digital or Linear PCM.
