INTRODUCTION  
Easy and simple connection to your HDTV via  
HDMI  
Features  
Full high-definition video playback  
Connect this unit to your HDTV with one single HDMI (High-  
Definition Multimedia Interface) cable. It is recommended to  
use a High Speed HDMI Cable for better compatibility. The  
high definition video output signal will be transferred to your  
HDTV without conversion to analog signals, so you will get  
excellent picture and sound quality, completely free from  
noise.  
Watch movies in the highest picture quality available for your  
HDTV. This unit offers full high-definition video playback up to  
1080p resolution for an amazing viewing experience. A highly  
detailed picture and increased sharpness delivers a more true-  
to-life picture.  
Upconvert DVD for enhanced picture quality  
Your current DVD will look even better than before thanks to  
video upconversion. Upconversion will increase the  
resolution of standard definition DVD to high definition up to  
1080p over an HDMI connection. The picture will be less  
jagged and more realistic for a near high-definition  
experience.  
Thanks to other multiple outputs, you can also easily connect  
to your home theater system or amplifier.  
HDMI Deep Color  
Deep Color reduces the posterization effect of the playback  
image. Refer to “HDMI Deep Color” in “Function Setup” on  
page 32.  
HDMI CEC (Consumer Electronics Control)  
Enjoy your content on different kinds of media  
This unit supports HDMI CEC, which allows integrated system  
control over HDMI and is part of the HDMI standard.  
This function may not work properly on some devices.  
Full backwards compatibility with DVD, CD and SD card  
ensures that you can continue to enjoy your current audio-  
video collection. Additionally, you can view JPEG images.

system called HDCP (high-bandwidth digital content  
protection system). HDCP is copy protection technology  
that comprises data encryption and authentication of the  
connected AV device. This unit supports HDCP. Please read  
the operating instructions of your TV (or AV amplifier) for  
more information.

systems throughout the world. The most common color  
system is NTSC (which is used primarily in the United
