■About video/HDMI OUT jacks
• You don’t need to make all kinds of video connections
between components. (e/ g., this unit to A/V amplifier, A/V
amplifier to TV and so on.)
epending on what kinds of video jacks that A/V amplifier
TV, etc. has, we recommend you to make the same kinds
of video connections between components.
■About audio/HDMI OUT jacks
• You don’t need to make all kinds of audio connections.
Connect this unit to A/V amplifier depending on the audio
input jack that A/V amplifier has.
1. Connecting AUDIO OUTs
• Connect these jacks to the AU IO IN jacks of B ( V ,
C , etc.) of your amplifier.
2. Connecting DIGITA AUDIO OUTs
• Connect either the OPTICAL or the COAXIAL IGITAL
OUT jack to the corresponding IGITAL IN jack of your
amplifier. (You don’t need to do both.)
■Notes :
• When your amplifier is not compatible with the digital
signals that are output from this unit, loud noise or no
sound may be heard from the speakers, and it may be
harmful to your ears and damages the speakers. To
prevent it, you should disconnect the IGITAL OUTs to
your amplifier and make analog audio connection.
• When making the COAXIAL IGITAL connection, be sure
to use a 75ΩCOAXIAL cord, not a conventional AU IO
cord.
3. Connecting COMPOSITE VIDEO OUT
• Connect this jack to the (composite)VI EO IN jack of your
amplifier or TV.
4. Connecting COMPONENT VIDEO OUTs
• Connect these jacks to the COMPONENT VI EO OUT
jacks of your amplifier or TV.
• When making COMPONENT VI EO connections,
connect “Y” to “Y”, “PB” to “PB” (, “Cb”, “B-Y”), “PR” to “PR”
(, “Cr”, “R-Y”).
■Notes :
• If the resolutions of the video signals which are output
from the COMPONENT VI EO OUTs and/or the H MI
OUT and your TV are not matched, the picture is not
clear, natural or displayed.
To prevent it, you should set the Resolution to one which
the TV can handle. (For details, refer to “SETTING THE
ISPLAY” on page 30.)
• o not connect the unit to the TV through a VCR.
Otherwise the picture may be disturbed due to the copy
protection function.
5. HDMI OUT CONNECTOR
• Refer to “CONNECTING TO TV WITH H MI IN
CONNECTOR” on next page.
6. AN CONNECTOR
• Refer to “CONNECTING TO NETWORK” on page 9.
7. AC INPUT CORD
• Plug the cord into a wall AC outlet.

• If you have a H MI IN connector equipped TV or projector, etc., connected it to the H MI OUT connector of this unit using a
commercially available H MI cord.
The H MI connection can carry uncompressed digital video and multi-channel (up to 7.1ch) digital audio signals.
• Among the H MI IN connector equipped TV or projector, etc., some do not support audio output (for examples, projectors).
In such a case, make an audio connection between this unit and A/V amplifier.
• If you have a VI IN connector equipped TV or projector, etc., compatible with both VI and High-bandwidth igital Content
Protection (H CP), connect it to the H MI OUT connector of this unit using a commercially available H MI- VI converter
cord.
Since the H MI-to- VI connection cannot carry audio signals, you should make an audio connection. (For details on audio
connection, refer to the operating instructions of the VI IN connector equipped component.)
• If you have a H MI or VI connector equipped A/V amplifier, you can connect this unit to TV or projector, etc., through A/V
amplifier. (For details on connection between components, refer to the operating instructions of your amplifier.)

■Copyright protection system
• This unit supports H CP (High-bandwidth igital Contents Protection), technology to protect copyright of digital video signals
against illegal duplication. H CP must also be supported on the components connected to this unit.
If a component incompatible with H CP is connected, the video signals will not be output properly.
• This unit is H MI Ver. 1.3 compatible.
• H MI, the H MI logo and High- efinition Multimedia Interface are trademarks or registered trademarks of H MI licensing
LLC.
■Notes :
• When connecting the H MI OUT connector to TV or projector, etc., you should set isplay and Audio settings correctly. (For
details, refer to “SETTING THE ISPLAY” on page 30 and “SETTING THE AU IO” on page 31.)
• For stable signal transfer, we recommend using H MI cords that are a maximum of 5 meters in length.
• Among the components that support H MI, some components can control other components via the H MI connector.
However, this unit cannot be controlled by another component via the H MI connector.
• The audio signals from the H MI connector (including the sampling frequency and bit length) may be limited by the
component that is connected.

• You can enjoy a variety of content with interactive functions by connecting to the internet when playing B -LIVE compatible
discs.
• Connect the LAN connector of this unit to your internet source.
cONNEcTING TO NETWORK
■Notes :
• After making a broadband internet connection, you should set the communication setting. (For details, refer to “SETTING THE
NETWORK” on page 34.)
• When using a broadband internet connection, a contract with an internet service provider is required. For more information,
contact your nearest internet service provider.
• Refer to the operating instructions of the equipment because the connected equipment and connection method may differ
depending on your internet environment.
• Use a LAN cable/router supporting 10 BASE-T/100 BASE-TX.
• Some LAN cables are easily affected by noise.
We recommend using a shielded type cable.

■Video output resolution
• The video output resolution differs depending on the Resolution setting.
(For details, refer to “SETTING THE ISPLAY” on page 30.)
*1: • When the COMPONENT OUTs and the H MI OUT are connected to your TV, the video signals of 480i(NTSC)(or 576i(PAL)) will be output.
*2: • When the H MI OUT is not connected to your TV and the copy protected V Videos are played, the video signals of 480p(or 576p) will be
output.
■Notes :
• If the resolution of video signal to be output from COMPONENT OUTs or H MI OUT does not match that of your TV, the
picture is not clear, natural or displayed.
Should this happen, first make (composite) video connection between this unit and TV, and select the (composite) VI EO as
an input source on the TV to display the setting menu, then set the Resolution correctly. (For details on the resolution
acceptable for your TV, refer to its operating instructions.)
• When the H MI OUT connector is connected to your TV, the TV reports to this unit what resolutions it supports. Therefore, if
you set the Resolution to H MI Auto, this unit outputs the video signals of the highest resolution acceptable for your TV.
In this case, you cannot select the resolution inacceptable for your TV.

■Audio output signals
• The audio output differs as follows, depending on the audio format, output jack and igital Output settings.
(For details, refer to “SETTING THE AU IO” on page 31.)
*1: • When the A/V amplifier does not support H Audio ( olby igital Plus, olby TrueH , TS-H High Resolution Audio and TS-H Master
Audio) but supports olby igital/ TS, a olby igital or TS bitstream is output.
• When the A/V amplifier does not support H Audio and olby igital/ TS but supports multi-channel LPCM, up to PCM 7.1CH is output.
• When the A/V amplifier does not support LPCM at higher sampling frequency, LPCM at lower sampling frequency is output.
*2: When the A/V amplifier supports H Audio, H Audio is output.
*3: When the PCM ownsampling is set to 48 kHz, the audio signal is downsampled to 48 kHz.
*4: When the H MI connection between components is made, PCM 2CH signal may be output.
