CONNECTING THE PLAYER
HDMI can transmit both audio and video signals over a single cable. If you
have an HDMI capable receiver that can support HDMI audio, you can
simply run an HDMI cable from the player to your receiver and enable
HDMI audio on the receiver (see your receiver’s owners’ manual for more
informaon). The receiver usually has an HDMI output that you can
connect to your TV to pass the video signal.
HDMI is a wonderful thing. A single cable can transport both audio AND
video from your player to your display. Be aware, however, that HDMI is
an evolving standard, and there could be compability issues. A receiver
that supports audio input over HDMI is required.
Some receivers offer HDMI ports solely for video switching. If your receiver
does not have audio input capability, please read the following secons
regarding other connecon methods.
In order to play mul-channel audio for all formats, the receiver must
support HDMI v1.1 or later. A receiver that supports HDMI v1.3 with
decoding capability for Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio is
preferred. Please check the specificaons of your receiver to ensure that it
meets the requirements.
Due to bandwidth limitaons, high resoluon audio formats such as Dolby
Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD High Resoluon and DTS-HD Master
Audio cannot be sent through the coaxial digital audio output. A reduced
resoluon version of the same audio track will be output instead. To listen
to high resoluon audio formats in their best quality, please use the HDMI
connecon if you have a receiver that handles HDMI audio.
