Tascam SN29401376 User Manual

Designed to meet the increased demands of digital TV, 
HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) is a new 
digital interface standard for connecting TVs, projectors, 
Blu-ray Disc/DVD players, set-top boxes, and other video 
components. Until now, several separate video and audio 
cables have been required to connect AV components. 
With HDMI, a single cable can carry control signals, 
digital video, and up to eight channels of digital audio (2-
channel PCM, multichannel digital audio, and 
multichannel PCM).
The HDMI video stream (i.e., video signal) is compatible 
with DVI (Digital Visual Interface)

, so TVs and displays 

with a DVI input can be connected by using an HDMI-to-
DVI adapter cable. (This may not work with some TVs and 
displays, resulting in no picture.)
The AV receiver uses HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital 
Content Protection)

, so only HDCP-compatible 

components can display the picture.

• 2-channel linear PCM (32–192 kHz, 16/20/24 bit)
• Multichannel linear PCM (up to 7.1 ch, 32–192 kHz, 

16/20/24 bit)

• Bitstream (DSD, Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, 

Dolby TrueHD, DTS, DTS-HD High Resolution Audio, 
DTS-HD Master Audio)

Your Blu-ray Disc/DVD player must also support HDMI 
output of the above audio formats.

The AV receiver supports HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital 
Content Protection)

, a copy-protection system for digital 

video signals. Other devices connected to the AV receiver 
via HDMI must also support HDCP.

*1

DVI (Digital Visual Interface): The digital display interface 
standard set by the DDWG

 in 1999.

*2

HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection): The 
video encryption technology developed by Intel for 
HDMI/DVI. It’s designed to protect video content and requires 
a HDCP-compatible device to display the encrypted video. 

*3

DDWG (Digital Display Working Group): Lead by Intel, 
Compaq, Fujitsu, Hewlett Packard, IBM, NEC, and Silicon 
Image, this open industry group’s objective is to address the 
industry’s requirements for a digital connectivity specification 
for high-performance PCs and digital displays. 

• The HDMI video stream is compatible with DVI (Digital Visual 

Interface), so TVs and displays with a DVI input can be 
connected by using an HDMI-to-DVI adapter cable. (Note that 
DVI connections only carry video, so you’ll need to make a 
separate connection for audio.) However, reliable operation with 
such an adapter is not guaranteed. In addition, video signals from 
a PC are not supported.

• The HDMI audio signal (sampling rate, bit length, etc.) may be 

restricted by the connected source component. If the picture is 
poor or there’s no sound from a component connected via HDMI, 
check its setup. Refer to the connected component’s instruction 
manual for details.

The AV receiver’s HDMI interface is based on the 
following:
Audio Return Channel, 3D, x.v.Color, DeepColor, Lip 
Sync, DTS-HD Master Audio, DTS-HD High 
Resolution Audio, Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Digital Plus, 
DSD and Multichannel PCM.
