If you are unable to get sound from the unit, refer to the suggestions for the following conditions: During switching, it may take a split second for digital signals to be recognized and properly decoded.
Can I connect components which have earlier versions of HDMI? Yes, because HDMI is backwards-compatible. This means that components which have earlier versions of HDMI (such as HDMI 1.1 or HDMI 1.2) will perform correctly when connected to the HDMI 1.4 inputs or outputs of the unit. If your DVD player is equipped with HDMI 1.2a, the HDMI connection will permit the transmission of 1080p (high definition) video signals.
