However, when playing a Blu-ray Disc/DVD, thedata transmitted to a TV is digital. Therefore either a digital-to-analog converter (in the Blu-ray DiscPlayer) or an analog-to-digital converter (in the TV) is required. During this conversion, the picturequality is degraded due to noise and signal loss. HDMI technology is superior because it requires noD/A conversion and is a pure digital signal from the player to your TV.What is the HDCP?HDCP (High-band width Digital Content Protection) is a system for protecting Blu-ray Disc/DVDcontent outputted via HDMI from being copied. It provides a secure digital link between a videosource (PC, DVD. etc) and a display device (TV, projector. etc). Content is encrypted at the sourcedevice to prevent unauthorized copies from being made.What is anynet+?Anynet+ is a convenient function that offers linked operation of this unit through Samsung TVs withthe Anynet+ feature.- If your Samsung TV has an ' logo, then it supports the Anynet+ function.- If you turn on the player and insert a disc, the player will start playing the disc, and the TV will turnon automatically and switch to HDMI mode.- If you turn on the player and press the PLaY button with a disc already inserted, the TV willimmediately turn on and switch to HDMI mode.What is BD Wise?BD Wise is Samsung's latest inter-connectivity feature.- When you connect Samsung products with BD-Wise to each other via HDMI, the optimumresolution will be set automatically.M ••••••
