To connect to a TV with DVI input  
Use an HDMI-DVI converter cable (not  
supplied). The DVI jack will not accept any  
audio signals, so you have to use another  
audio connection in addition to this  
connection (page 21).  
• Plug in cables securely to prevent unwanted  
noise.  
• Refer to the instruction manual supplied with the  
components to be connected.  
• You cannot connect this player to a TV that does  
not have a video input jack.  
Furthermore, you cannot connect the HDMI  
OUT jack to DVI jacks that are not HDCP  
compliant (e.g., DVI jacks on PC displays).  
• Do not apply too much pressure on the connecting  
cables. Pushing against the cabinet wall, etc., may  
damage the cables or jacks.
