 Connecting to an HDMI input jack
Use a certified Sony HDMI cord (not supplied) to enjoy high 
quality digital pictures and sound through the HDMI OUT jack. 
You will enjoy higher quality pictures from 480p/1080i, or 
1080p (highest among the player output), if your TV, projector 
or AV amplifier (receiver) is compatible.
This Blu-ray Disc player incorporates High-Definition 
Multimedia Interface (HDMI™) technology. HDMI, the HDMI 
logo and High-Definition Multimedia Interface are trademarks 
or registered trademarks of HDMI Licensing LLC.
Notes on connecting to the HDMI OUT jack
Observe the following as improper handling may damage the 
HDMI OUT jack and the connector.
• Carefully align the HDMI OUT jack on the back of the player 
and the HDMI connector by checking their shapes. Make sure 
the connector is not upside down or tilted.
• Be sure to disconnect the HDMI cord when moving the player.
• If you place the player on the cabinet with the HDMI cord 
connected, do not apply too much pressure to the cabinet wall. 
It may damage the HDMI OUT jack or the HDMI cord.
• When connecting or disconnecting, do not screw in or rotate 
the HDMI connector.
About indicators for HDMI connection
After the player is turned on, the HD indicator on the front panel 
lights up when outputting 720p/1080i/1080p video signals. The 
HDMI indicator lights up when an HDMI device is connected.

picture problems, it is recommended that the user switch the 
connection to the ‘standard definition’ output. If there are questions 
regarding our TV set compatibility with this model 480p/720p/1080i/
1080p Blu-ray Disc player, please contact our customer service center.

the video output resolution by pressing VIDEO FORMAT (page 46).
• Be sure to use only an HDMI cord that bears the HDMI logo.
