CONNECTIONS

• HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface)

HDMI enables you to make a digital video and audio connection with a single cable.

Using HDMI, the DVD player transmits a digital video and audio signal and displays a vivid picture on a TV

having an HDMI input jack.

• HDMI connection description

HDMI connector - Video and audio are transferred digitally without compression (LPCM or Bit Stream

data).

- The player outputs a pure digital signal to the TV through an HDMI cable.

- If TV does not support HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital content protection), snow noise appears on the

screen.

• Why does Samsung use HDMI?

Analog TVs require an analog video/audio signal. However, when playing a DVD, the signal transmitted to

a TV is digital. Therefore either a digital-to-analog converter (in the DVD player) or an analog-to-digital

converter (in the TV) is required. During this conversion, the picture quality is degraded due to noise and

signal loss. DVI technology is superior because it requires no D/A conversion and is a pure digital signal

from the player to your TV.

• What is the HDCP?

HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) is a system for protecting DVD content outputted via

DVI from being copied. It provides a secure digital link between a video source (PC, DVD. etc) and a

display device (TV, projector . etc). Content is encrypted at the source device to prevent unauthorized

copies from being made.
