connected, HDMI mode is automatically selected.
When you connect the player to the TV using the HDMI cable for the rst time or to a new TV, the
HDMI output resolution will automatically be set to the highest provided by the TV.
If you connect a Samsung TV to the Blu-ray Home Theater using an HDMI cable, the player can

(See page 46) If the HDMI cable is connected or removed during playback of a CD-DA, MP3 or JPEG le, the player will stop playing. After making the video connection, set the Video input source on your TV to match the corresponding Video output (HDMI, Component or Composite) on your Blu-ray Home Theater.

HDMI connection description HDMI connector - Supports video and digital audio data. - HDMI outputs only a pure digital signal to the TV. - If your TV does not support HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection), random noise appears on the screen. Why does Samsung use HDMI? Analog TVs require an analog video/audio signal. However, when playing a BD/DVD, the data transmitted to a TV is digital. Therefore either a digital-to-analog converter (in the Blu-ray Home Theater) 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. HDMI 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-band width Digital Content Protection) is a system for protecting BD/DVD content outputted via HDMI 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. What is Anynet+? Anynet+ is a convenient function that offers linked operation of this unit through Samsung TVs with the Anynet+ feature. - If your Samsung TV has an logo, then it supports the Anynet+ function. - If you turn on the player and insert a disc, the player will start playing the disc, and the TV will turn on automatically and switch to HDMI mode. - If you turn on the player and press the PLAY button with a disc already inserted, the TV will immediately turn on and switch to HDMI mode. What is BD Wise? BD Wise is Samsung's latest inter-connectivity feature. - When you connect Samsung products with BD-Wise to each other via HDMI, the optimum resolution will be set automatically.
