Connecting the DPS-5.9—Continued
This section shows how to connect the DPS-5.9 to an AV
receiver, HDTV, or projector with an HDMI input.
What is HDMI?
HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) is a new
connection format that can carry uncompressed, stan-
dard or high definition digital video and up to eight chan-
nels of digital audio. Until now, several separate video
and audio cables have been required to connect AV com-
ponents together. With HDMI, a single cable is all that’s
necessary to achieve the best picture and audio quality.
HDMI video is compatible with DVI (Digital Visual
Interface). To send HDMI video to a DVI input requires
an HDMI-to-DVI cable. The DPS-5.9 supports HDCP
(High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection), and for an
HDMI-to-DVI connection to work, the other component
must also support it. Note that this may not work with
some DVI components.
Using HDMI
Use the HDMI cable to connect the DPS-5.9’s HDMI
OUT to an HDMI input on your AV receiver. Alterna-
tively, you can connect the DPS-5.9 directly to the
HDMI input on your TV.
Notes:
• The DPS-5.9 supports HDCP (High-bandwidth Digi-
tal Content Protection), a protection system for digital
video. HDMI components that you connect to the
DPS-5.9 must also support HDCP.
•Even if you connect a component that does not sup-
port HDCP to the DPS-5.9, there will be no picture or
sound.
• The DPS-5.9 supports HDMI (High-Definition Multi-
media Interface) Specification Information Version
1.0.
HDMI & the DPS-5.9
■ Video
The DPS-5.9’s HDMI OUT supports the following
video resolutions:
• 720 x 480i 60 Hz
• 720 x 480p 60 Hz
• 720 x 576i 50 Hz ( Australian model only)
• 720 x 576p 50 Hz ( Australian model only)
• 1280 x 720p 50/60 Hz
• 1920 x 1080i 50/60 Hz
• 1920 x 1080p 50/60 Hz
If the connected HDTV or projector doesn’t support a
resolution, you may get no picture.
On the DPS-5.9, you can select a resolution suitable for
use with the connected HDTV or projector (see
page 27).
■ Audio Formats
The DPS-5.9’s HDMI OUT supports the following
audio formats:
• PCM (48 kHz, 44.1 kHz, 96kHz)
• Dolby Digital
• DTS
If your TV only supports HDMI digital audio up to
48 kHz, change the Linear PCM Out setting to Down
Sample On (see page 47).
If your TV doesn’t support Dolby Digital, set the Digital/
HDMI Audio Out setting to PCM (see page 47).
If your TV doesn’t support DTS, the DPS-5.9 will not be
able to play DTS format audio or soundtracks. In this
case, on your DVD-Video disc’s audio setup menu,
select an audio format other than DTS.
RIHD (CEC)
The DPS-5.9 supports RIHD (Remote Interactive over
HDMI), which is Onkyo’s implementation of CEC
(Consumer Electronics Control), which allows inte-
grated system control over HDMI and is part of the
HDMI standard. In addition to Integra/Onkyo AV com-
ponents, it allows interoperability with CEC-compatible
AV components and TVs made by other manufacturers.
To use RIHD, make sure that CEC is turned on on your
other components (e.g., TV, AV receiver)
