Switching output signals (Switching to HDMI output and setting the resolution)
HDMI stands for High Defi nition Multimedia Interface. HDMI transfers digital audio and uncompressed digital
video on a single cable. As a result, audio cables and video cables don’t need to be connected separately to a
device. The HDMI OUTPUT jack is designed to HDMI Version 1.1.
To view 480 , 720 , 1080 pictures, use the HDMI OUTPUT jack or the COMPONENT OUTPUT jacks to connect
to a TV ( page 22, “Connecting to a TV with component video inputs”). Some discs may require use of the
HDMI OUTPUT for viewing of high resolution material. See note regarding copy protection.
