Connecting a TV
Be sure to turn off the power and unplug the power cord from the
power outlet whenever making or changing connections.
Note
• Make the settings in the Setup Navigator menu according to the
type of cable connected (page 20).
Connecting using a commercially
available HDMI cable
The audio and video signals can be transferred to HDMI-compatible
devices as digital signals with no loss of sound or video quality. After
connecting, make the settings at the
Setup Navigator
menu
according to the connected HDMI-compatible device (page 20).
Also refer to the operating instructions of the device being
connected.
Note
• The HDMI indicator on the player’s front panel lights when an
HDMI-compatible device is connected. (Depending on the
connected device, in some cases it may only light when the
player is selected as the device’s input.)
• 1080p video signals may not be output, depending on the HDMI
cable being used.
Caution
• Hold the plug when connecting and disconnecting the cable.
• Placing a load on the plug could result in faulty contact and no
video signals being output.
