This advice holds especially true for the CDP-300, since it incorporates
sophisticated video processing circuitry that can convert the standard
definition DVDs you play to high definition rates that are most compatible
with today’s best video displays.

The Component video output of the CDP-300 can be set to 480i, 480p,
576i, 576p, 720p, or 1080i (based on the best match to your display).

HDMI Digital Video Output
The HDMI output of the CDP-300 provides for a direct, digital video
connection to your display. Digital display devices such as LCD and
DLP™ are used increasingly in modern home theater settings; HDMI
allows you to keep the video signal in its digital form all the way to the
display, offering stunning clarity and realism.

In addition, HDMI carries the multichannel audio signal and some
additional data about the signal being played. When fully implemented,
it can become the only connection between the DVD player and the A/V
preamplifier/processor. (The A/V preamp retains the audio signal and
passes the video along to the display device.) More often, people prefer to
run separate audio and video cables since doing so offers some additional
flexibility as well as the potential for higher audio performance via
AES/EBU connection.

If your display has a DVI input rather than an HDMI input, contact your
Classé dealer about a suitable adapter cable. The DVI standard lacks the
audio capabilities of HDMI, and is growing less popular in the consumer
electronics world. A simple and inexpensive adapter can convert from the
HDMI connector to the DVI connector, and the electrical characteristics
of the digital video signals are the same.
