ENG-18CONNECTIONS•HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface)HDMI is an interface to enable the digital transmission of video and audio data with just a singleconnector.Using HDMI, the DVD player transmits a digital video and audio signal and displays a vivid pictureon a TV having an HDMI input jack.•HDMI connection descriptionHDMI connector - Both uncompressed video data and digital audio data (LPCM or Bit Stream data).- Though the player uses a HDMI cable, the player outputs only a pure digital signal to the TV.- If TV does not support HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection), snow noise appearson the screen.•Why does Samsung use HDMI?Analog TVs require an analog video/audio signal. However, when playing a DVD, the datatransmitted to a TV is digital. Therefore either a digital-to-analog converter (in the DVD player) or ananalog-to-digital converter (in the TV) is required. During this conversion, the picture quality isdegraded due to noise and signal loss.
ENG-19CONNECTIONSConnection to an Audio SystemConnection to an Audio System (2 Channel Amplifier)1Using the audio cables, connect the (LINE)AUDIO (red and white) OUT terminals on therear of the DVD-VCR to the AUDIO (red andwhite) IN terminals of the Amplifier.2Using the video signal cable(s), connect the VIDEO, S-VIDEO or COMPONENT OUTterminals on the rear of the DVD-VCR to the VIDEO, S-VIDEO or COMPONENT IN terminal of your TV as described on pages 14 to 16.3Turn on the DVD-VCR, TV, and Amplifier.4Press the input select button of the Amplifier toselect external input in order to hear sound fromthe DVD-VCR.Refer to your Amplifier's user manual to set theAmplifier's audio input.Notes- Please turn the volume down when you turn on the Amplifier.
