Denon S-302 Manuel D’Utilisation

• HDMI video signals are theoretically compatible with the DVI format.
  When connecting to a TV, etc., equipped with a DVI-D terminal, connection is possible using an HDMI/

DVI converter cable, but depending on the combination of components in some cases the video signals 
will not be output.

• When connecting using an HDMI/DVI converter adapter, the video signals may not be output properly 

due to poor connections with the connected cable, etc.

In order to play the digital video and audio signals of a DVD Video disc using HDMI connections, both the 
connected DVD player and TV must be equipped for a copyright protection system called “HDCP” (High-
bandwidth Digital Content Protection).
HDCP  is  a  copy  protection  technology  consisting  of  data  encoding  and  mutual  identification  of  the 
devices. The S-302 is HDCP-compatible. Check the operating instructions of your TV to see if they are 
compatible.

Digital video and digital audio can both be connected using a single HDMI cable.

• When  playing  multichannel  sources,  the  audio  output  is  downmixed  to  two  channels  for  output.  In 

addition, the sampling frequency is lowered to 48 kHz.

• Video signals are not output properly when using devices that are not HDCP-compatible.
•Use a cable on which the HDMI logo is indicated (a certified HDMI product) for connection to the HDMI 

connector. Normal playback may not be possible when using a cable other than one on which the HDMI 
logo is indicated (a non-HDMI-certified product).

• The audio signals output from the HDMI connector (sampling frequency, bit rate, etc.) may be restricted 

by the connected device.

If the connected TV is only compatible with DVI-D terminals, use an HDMI/DVI conversion cable.

Set the resolution of the video signals output from the HDMI output terminal to a resolution with which the 
connected devices are compatible. Press 

 on the remote control unit to select.

Carefully check the left (L) and right (R) channels and the inputs and outputs, and be sure to interconnect 
correctly.

Use  either  a  DENON  Control  Dock  for  iPod 
(ASD-1R,  sold  separately)  or  an  iPod  cable 
(AK-P100, sold separately) to connect the S-
302 and an iPod. 

• When  using  the  Control  Dock  for  iPod, 

certain  settings  must  be  made  on  the 
Control  Dock  for  iPod.  For  details,  refer 
to  the  Control  Dock  for  iPod’s  operating 
instructions.

• When  using  an  iPod,  refer  to  “iPod® 

Playback” (vpage 33).
