However, when playing a BD/DVD, the datatransmitted to a TV is digital. Therefore either a digital-to-analog converter (in the Blu-ray Disc Player)or an analog-to-digital converter (in the TV) is required. During this conversion, the picture quality isdegraded due to noise and signal loss. HDMI technology is superior because it requires no D/Aconversion 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 BD/DVD contentoutputted via HDMI from being copied. It provides a secure digital link between a video source (PC,DVD. etc) and a display device (TV, projector. etc). Content is encrypted at the source device toprevent unauthorized copies from being made.What is Anynet+?Anynet+ is a convenient function that offers linked operation of this unit through Samsung TVs with theAnynet+ feature.- If your Samsung TV has an logo, then it supports Anynet+ function.- If you turn on the player and insert a disc, the player will start playing the disc, and the TV will turn onautomatically 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.M •••••
