The High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) is an interface standard for next-generation TV, designed to connect 
between STB (Set Top Box) and display digitally in the home, responding to technological changes such as digitaliza-
tion of TV broadcasting.
In addition to the existing features provided by the Digital Visual Interface (DVI)

 standard, HDMI allows transmission 

of both audio and control signals. Moreover, multiple cables are required for video, audio, and control signals in con-
ventional connections, but the HDMI interface allows you to make a connection through a single HDMI cable, thus 
enabling transfer of digital video and sound data between HDMI-supported devices.
In principle, the HDMI video stream (video signals) is compatible with the DVI. You can use the HDMI-DVI conversion 
cables to connect with TVs or monitors that are outfitted with DVI terminals, though video images may not be visible 
depending on the combination of devices. The DTR-10.5 uses HDCP; you can enjoy pictures on HDCP ready monitors.
The HDMI interfaces on the DTR-10.5 are designed to conform to the standards below.

, technology to protect copyright of 

digital video signals against illegal duplication. HDCP must also be supported on the devices connected to the 
DTR-10.5. Use the HDMI cable supplied with the product or those from the marketplace to connect the HDMI OUT 
terminal on the DTR-10.5 with the HDMI input terminals on TVs or monitors.

 in 1999.

*2 HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Contents Protection): The video data encryption technology for DVI developed by 

Intel. This technology is designed to protect the video content and a HDCP-compliant DVI receiver is required to 
play the encrypted video content.

*3 DDWG (Digital Display Working Group): The standardization group for digital interface for display, operated 

mainly by Intel, Silicon Image, FUJITSU, and Hewlett-Packard (Compaq Computer).

 

Use the HDMI cable to connect the HDMI terminals on the DTR-10.5 and on an HDMI-enabled device such as a DVD 
player, TV, or projector.
Set HDMI to 1 or 2 in the Video Assign sub-menu according to the connected device you wish to use. In the initial 
settings, 1 is assigned to DVD, and 2 to Video 1.
Basically, the HDMI can transmit audio signals. However in order to playback the audio signal with the DTR-10.5, 
make a separate digital connection with a DVD player or other devices, since the DTR-10.5 cannot playback any audio 
signals supplied from its HDMI IN 1/2 terminals.
• When other input source than 1 or 2 is selected, analog/digital audio signals and analog video signals will be con-

verted into the HDMI format and output through the HDMI OUT terminal (In the initial settings, no audio signal is 
output. Appropriate setting should be made in the Audio Output Assign sub-menu).

• Analog audio signals will be output in the PCM format. Digital audio signals will be output through the HDMI OUT 

terminal only if the connected TV or projector can playback the digital audio signals. 
A TV or projector that supports PCM audio signals only, for example, cannot playback audio signals in the Dolby 
Digital format supplied as an input source to the DTR-10.5. In order to properly playback the audio signals in this 
case, the player should be configured to output the PCM signals. 
When an analog audio connection is made on the DTR-10.5, analog audio signal is output in the PCM format.
