Connecting your HDTV or AV receiver with an HDMI Input
This section shows how to connect the DVD player to a AV receiver, HDTV, or projector that has an HDMI input socket. Notes: The DVD player supports HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection), a protection system for digital video. HDMI components that you connect to the DVD player must also support HDCP. The DVD player supports High-Denition Multimedia Interface Specication Information Version 1.0.

What is HDMI?

HDMI (High Denition Multimedia Interface) is a new connection format that can carry uncompressed, standard or high denition digital video and digital audio. Until now, several separate video and audio cables have been required to connect AV components together. With HDMI, a single cable is all thats necessary to achieve the best picture and audio quality. HDMI video is compatible with DVI (Digital Visual Interface). To send HDMI video to a DVI input requires an HDMI-to-DVI cable. The DVD player supports HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection), and for an HDMI-to-DVI connection to work, the other component must also support it. Note that this may not work with some DVI components.
HDMI & the DVD player

Video The DVD players HDMI OUT supports the following video resolutions: 720 x 480p (progressive), 60 Hz 720 x 576p (progressive), 50 Hz (not North American and Korean models) 1280 x 720p (progressive), 50/60 Hz 1920 x 1080i (interlaced), 50/60 Hz If the connected HDTV or projector doesnt support a resolution, you may get no picture. On the DVD player, you can select a resolution suitable for use with the connected HDTV or projector (see page 43). Audio Formats The DVD players HDMI OUT supports the following audio formats: PCM (96 kHz, 48 kHz, 44.1 kHz) Dolby Digital DTS If your HDMI-compatible TV or projector doesnt support Dolby Digital and DTS, the HDMI OUT will not output digital audio in that format. In this case, set the Digital/HDMI Audio Out setting to PCM (see page 48). If your TV doesnt support digital audio at high sampling rates, set the Linear PCM Out setting to Down Sample On, so that its down sampled to below 48 kHz (see page 48). Note that audio from SACD discs is not output by the HDMI OUT. For this format, you need to use the analog multichannel output (see page 23).

Using HDMI

Use the HDMI cable (not supplied) to connect the DVD players HDMI OUT to an HDMI input on your AV receiver. Alternatively, you can connect the DVD player directly to the HDMI input on your TV.

DV-SP504

UNIVERSAL DVD/CD PLAYER

Available in Gold

Scaling the Heights of A/V Perfection with Multi-Format Capability and Untainted Audio Signals
Following up on the success of its predecessor, the DV-SP504 universal DVD/CD player stands out as a versatile player that is well-positioned for the emergence of high-definition entertainment. Its the inclusion of the High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) that makes the DV-SP504 a superb choice for delivering high-definition movies in 720p or 1080i formats, high-resolution music, and more recent formats like HD JPEG (megapixel images with enhanced resolution). On the audio front, the inclusion of three Cirrus Logic CS4398 digital-to-analog converters takes audio performance into a totally different league. Onkyos own technologies come into play with Vector Linear Shaping Circuitry (VLSC) and Direct Digital Path to protect audio signals from the most destructive elements to quality movies and musicpulse noise and noise emanating from a players internal components.
HDMI Interface for High-Bandwidth Connectivity to HDTVs and AV Receivers HDMI on the DV-SP504s rear can output uncompressed video480p/576p, 720p and 1080ito a compatible display. You can pass video directly to an HDMI-enabled HDTV or pass multichannel audio to your AV receiver, including Dolby Digital and DTS signals. Since HDMI carries all channels on video and audio, there is only one cable to plug into any HDMI-enabled source and display device, which means no unsightly cable mess and a straightforward connection process. Getting the Best Match from High-Definition Displays As high-definition displays become the norm, and HDMI becomes the A/V transport of choice, you will want the flexibility to get the best resolution out of your display. The DV-SP504 can be automatically set at the native resolution of the connected display. The default setting of 480p or 576p can be output by component video or HDMI, and the HDMI setting can be changed through the resolution button on your remote controller or front panel. You also have the choice of 720p or 1080i settings (via HDMI) which are compatible with the best HDTV displays available. Multi-Format Playback Capability Broadening your entertainment options beyond DVD videos and PCM audio CDs, the DV-SP504 enables a range of playback options. With expanded content and audiophile quality, DVD-Audio and Super Audio CD gives you superior audio quality and the opportunity to experience multichannel recordings that reveal an entirely new dimension to music. As for your computer-based digital files, MP3- and WMA-encoded music discs can be played back with the full sound and energy missing on PCs and portable music devices. Also, movies and video content in DivX can be downloaded and burnt to disc for playback with your entertainment system. Direct Digital Path for Clean Audio Signal Transfer Unlike other DVD players that use inexpensive PC board copper traces to transfer the digital audio signal, the DV-SP504 use a high-purity, heavy-gauge, shielded cable to directly output digital or PCM bitstreams straight from the disc to the back panel. This way, the cable protects the audio signal against potential noise from nearby microprocessors and power supplies giving you the cleanest possible signal.
Vector Linear Shaping Circuitry (VLSC) for Pure Signal Processing Essentially, a players primary purpose is to read digital information and convert that information into an analog signal to feed to an amplifier or A/V receiver. Digital audio signals cannot escape pulse noise (which is particularly harmful in compressed formats). Conventional digital-to-analog conversion methods reduce digital pulse noise at the conversion stage but cant remove it completely. Onkyos VLSC is a unique conversion circuit designed to overcome this problem. Data is converted between the sampling points, and these discrete sampling points are joined with analog vectors in real-time to produce a smooth output wave form. This ensures that the DV-SP504s disc drive emits the cleanest possible signal from DVD-Video, DVD-Audio, Super Audio CD, PCM audio CDs and MP3-/WMAencoded discs. Progressive Scan with 108 MHz/14-Bit Digital-to-Analog Processing Progressive scan capabilitythe ability to produce video in complete frames with no motion artifacts, a scan-line free image, vividly clear color and incredibly sharp detailis now commonplace among home entertainment playback components. The DV-SP504 will transmit progressive or interlaced signals through component video to match the resolution, like 720p or 1080i, of your connected display. Also, the DV-SP504s onboard 108 MHz/14-bit DAC gives you the precise video conversion needed for quality output via component, S-Video and composite video. Sophisticated Cirrus Logic DAC Improves Audio Performance The inclusion of three Cirrus Logic CSkHz/24-bit D/A converters takes audio performance to outstanding levels. The CS4398s uses an advanced, proprietary multi-bit, sigma-delta architecture that eliminates the need for dynamic element matching (DEM) while removing potential audible artifacts that may inhibit sound quality. This advanced architecture provides a 120 dB dynamic range and -105 dB THD+N. It also includes a patented Direct Stream Digital processor that maintains the native sampling rate of 2.8244 MHz and preserves the integrity of the Super Audio CD data format.
