About HDMI

HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) supports both video and audio on a single digital connection for an easy all- digital output to an HDMI or DVI-equipped TV.

Connection to an HDMI TV requires an HDMI cable while connection to a DVI-equipped TV requires an HDMI to DVI adaptor.

HDMI has the capability to support standard, enhanced, or high-definition video plus standard to multi-channel surround-sound audio. HDMI features include uncompressed digital video, a bandwidth of up to 5 gigabytes per second, one connector (instead of several cables and connectors), and communication between the AV source and AV devices such as DTVs.

Dynamic Range Control (DRC)

With the DVD*1 format, you can hear a program's soundtrack in the most accurate and realistic presentation possible, thanks to digital audio technology. However, you may wish to compress the dynamic range of the audio output (the difference between the loudest sounds and the quietest ones). Then, you may listen to a movie at a lower volume without losing clarity of sound. Set DRC to On for this effect.

*1: Dolby Digital only

Vocal

Set Vocal to On only when a multi-channel karaoke DVD is playing. The karaoke channels on the disc will mix into normal stereo sound.

HD AV Sync

When using Digital TV. Sometimes AV signal could not be transmitted simultaneously because of later transmission of video signal compared to audio signal. Because it takes some time to convert analog video signal to digital one in the Digital TV. And it means that you may not enjoy picture on the screen and sound from speaker at the same time even though it is one scene.

In the HD AV Sync menu, you could adjust delay time to audio signal for simultaneous AV signal transmission.

  • Delay time could be set up with 10msec unit. (0 \~ 300msec)
  • Delay time is different with each TV Brand. So you need to adjust optimal delay time complying with your TV.

DVD Audio Discs

DVD Audio is a new disc format building on the success of DVD to provide high quality, uncompressed, multi-channel audio for a new experience in audio quality. A DVD Audio disc can be identified by the DVD audio logo on the disc jacket or on the disc itself.

A typical DVD Audio disc contains up to seven times the data capacity of a CD. This additional space is used for music, either Advanced Resolution multi-channel sound quality that is closer to the artist's master recording or for longer recordings. Many DVD Audio discs contain on-screen text, such as artist biographies, playlists, or lyrics. Some DVD Audio discs contain photo galleries or video clips.
