About HDMI
Designed to meet the increased demands of digital
TV, HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) is a
new digital interface standard for connecting TVs,
projectors, Blu-ray Disc/DVD players, set-top boxes,
and other video components. Until now, several
separate video and audio cables have been required
to connect AV components. With HDMI, a single
cable can carry control signals, digital video, and up
to eight channels of digital audio (2-channel PCM,
multichannel digital audio, and multichannel PCM).
The HDMI video stream (i.e., video signal) is
compatible with DVI (Digital Visual Interface)
*1
, so
TVs and displays with a DVI input can be connected
by using an HDMI-to-DVI adapter cable. (This may
not work with some TVs and displays, resulting in no
picture.)
The AV receiver uses HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital
Content Protection)
*2
, so only HDCP-compatible
components can display the picture.
The AV receiver’s HDMI interface is based on the
following:
Audio Return Channel, 3D, x.v.Color, DeepColor, Lip
Sync, 4K (up-scaling and Passthrough), DTS-HD
Master Audio, DTS-HD High Resolution Audio, Dolby
TrueHD, Dolby Digital Plus, DSD and Multichannel
PCM.
• 2-channel linear PCM (32–192 kHz, 16/20/24 bit)
• Multichannel linear PCM (up to 7.1 ch, 32–192 kHz,
16/20/24 bit)
• Bitstream (DSD, Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus,
Dolby TrueHD, DTS, DTS-HD High Resolution
Audio, DTS-HD Master Audio)
Your Blu-ray Disc/DVD player must also support
HDMI output of the above audio formats.
The AV receiver supports HDCP (High-bandwidth
Digital Content Protection)
*2
, a copy-protection
system for digital video signals. Other devices
connected to the AV receiver via HDMI must also
support HDCP.
*1
DVI (Digital Visual Interface): The digital display interface
standard set by the DDWG
*3
in 1999.
*2
HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection): The
video encryption technology developed by Intel for
HDMI/DVI. It’s designed to protect video content and
requires a HDCP-compatible device to display the
encrypted video.
*3
DDWG (Digital Display Working Group): Lead by Intel,
Compaq, Fujitsu, Hewlett Packard, IBM, NEC, and
Silicon Image, this open industry group’s objective is to
address the industry’s requirements for a digital
connectivity specification for high-performance PCs and
digital displays.
Note
The HDMI video stream is compatible with DVI (Digital
Visual Interface), so TVs and displays with a DVI input can
be connected by using an HDMI-to-DVI adapter cable.
(Note that DVI connections only carry video, so you’ll need
to make a separate connection for audio.) However,
reliable operation with such an adapter is not guaranteed.
In addition, video signals from a PC are not supported.
The HDMI audio signal (sampling rate, bit length, etc.) may
be restricted by the connected source component. If the
picture is poor or there’s no sound from a component
connected via HDMI, check its setup. Refer to the
connected component’s instruction manual for details.
