HDMI cable

English _13
●CONNECTIONS
• HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface)
HDMI is an interface to enable the digital transmission
of video and audio data with just a single connector.
Using HDMI, the DVD player transmits a digital video
and audio signal and displays a vivid picture on a TV
having an HDMI input jack.
• HDMI connection description
HDMI connector - Both uncompressed video data and
digital audio data (LPCM or Bit Stream data).
- Though the player uses a HDMI cable, the player
outputs only a pure digital signal to the TV.
- If TV does not support HDCP (High-bandwidth
Digital content protection), snow noise appears on
the screen.
• Why does Samsung use HDMI?
Analog TVs require an analog video/audio signal.
However, when playing a DVD, the data transmitted
to a TV is digital. Therefore either a digital-to-analog
converter (in the DVD player) or an analog-to-digital
converter (in the TV) is required. During this conver-
sion, the picture quality is degraded due to noise and
signal loss. DVI technology is superior because it
requires no D/A conversion and is a pure digital sig-
nal from the player to your TV.
• What is the HDCP?
HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection)
is a system for protecting DVD content outputted via
DVI from being copied. It provides a secure digital link
between a video source (PC, DVD. etc) and a display
device (TV, projector . etc). Content is encrypted at
the source device to prevent unauthorized
Connection to an Audio System (2 Channel Amplifier)
1
Using the audio cables, connect the AUDIO (red and
white) OUT terminals on the rear of the DVD player to the

COMPONENT OUT terminals on the rear of the DVD play-
er to the VIDEO or COMPONENT IN terminal of your TV.
