When connected to an HDCP incompatible display device, the picture will not be displayed properly. The audio signals from the HDMI OUT jack (including the sampling frequency, the number of channels and bit length) may be limited by the connected device. Among the display devices that support HDMI, some do not support audio output (for example, projectors). While connected to a device such as a projector, audio will not be output from the HDMI OUT jack. When this unit's HDMI OUT jack is connected to a DVI-D compatible display device(s) (HDCP compatible) with an HDMI-DVI converter cable, the signals are output in digital RGB. HDMI video resolution does not work during playback of a BD-video.
Copyright protection system To play back the digital video images of a BD-video or DVD-video via an HDMI connection, it is necessary that both the player and the display device (or an AV receiver / amplifier) support a copyright protection system called HDCP (high-bandwidth digital content protection system). HDCP is copy protection technology which prevents copying or playback of encrypted content when connected to a non-HDCP compliant AV device. This unit supports HDCP. Please read the operating instructions of your display device (or an AV receiver / amplifier) for more information.
