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.
There are two HDMI output terminals (HDMI 1 OUT and HDMI 2 OUT) on the rear panel of BDP-
105, 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.
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 visible on the TV when using this connection, so it is limited to troubleshooting
purposes only.
NOTE
This connection method will output sound via the TV’s speakers. For optimal sound quality,
it is recommended that audio be transferred from the BDP-105 to an A/V receiver with
connected speakers.
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 to 19 for instructions on how to output audio to a
receiver using different connection types.
