- The player outputs only a pure digital signal to the TV through HDMI.
- If TV does not support HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection), snow noise appears on the
screen.
● Why does Samsung use HDMI?

HDMI provides an interface between any compatible digital audio/video source, such as a set-top box, a
DVD player, a PC, a video game system, or an AV receiver and a compatible digital audio and/or video
monitor, such as a digital television (DTV).
HDMI supports any TV or PC video format with digital high-definition pictures.
