Connecting to a TV via HDMI
x If your TV has an HDMI input, you can use the included HDMI cable to connect the player directly to
the TV. This connection method delivers both video and audio in a pure digital format via a single
cable. The HDMI output of the player allows for the highest possible video quality and audio
resolution.
x There are two HDMI output terminals (HDMI 1 OUT and HDMI 2 OUT) on the rear panel of PBD 1
, both of which can be connected to your TV. We recommend using HDMI 1 OUT since it
benefits from the dedicated Marvell QDEO video processor.
x You may remove the HDMI cable and connect the DIAG (diagnostic) output to the TV through
a
regular composite video cable (not included) when there is a problem with HDMI video. Only the
Setup Menu will be v
isible on the TV when using this connection, so it is limited to troubleshooting
purposes only.
NOTE
x This connection method will output sound via the TV’s speakers. For optimal sound
quality, it is recommended that audio be transferred from the PBD 1 to an A/V
receiver with connected speakers.
x If your A/V receiver
does
not accept audio
via HDMI,
or if your receiver does not have
HDMI inputs at all, see pages 16 and 17 for instructions
on ho
w to output audio to a
receiver using different connection types.
