Frequently Asked Questions

My DVD player has an HDMI connector, but my TV set has a DVI connector. Can I connect them together?

Sony Europe Customer Support Portal  | Television
If your TV set is HDCP enabled, you can connect your HDMI device to your DVI TV set by using a HDMI to DVI adapter. It is a small device that you can find in any Hi-fi or TV store. However, remember that sound will not be transported. You will need to use the audio output of your device and the audio input of your TV set. You can connect them together if you use a DVI to HDMI adapter. Please contact your Hi-fi or TV store for more information.

Why doesn't the MOON Calypso DVD Transport/Player output 720p video on its DVI connector ?

Simaudio FAQ
There are two reasons. First, a 720p output signal contains much more data than a 480p signal, resulting in a greater potential for signal degradation and loss. Secondly, all video monitors using DLP, D-ILA, LCD and LCoS technology employ built-in "480p to 720p" scaler circuits. While 720p is higher resolution than 480p, the upconversion process should be done in the display device or by a professional-grade outboard scaler rather than inside the source component.

Can I connect a DVI device to a HDMI device?

Home Theatre Custom Cables
You can connect DVI to HDMI, providing the DVI is the Digital variety - ie: DVI-D. The signal is 100% compatible with no loss of quality. You can use either DVI-HDMI adapters, or a cable which is terminated with DVI-D at one end and HDMI at the other. Of course the extra features of HDMI will be forfeited (digital audio and communications bus), but otherwise it's fine. You cannot connect DVI-I to HDMI, as HDMI is digital only.

My TV doesn't have an HDMI input, but it does have DVI. Can I use that instead?

V+ Faq - Cable Forum
Yes, but you'll need a HDMI to DVI cable or adapter. You may be able to blag one off the installer - tea and biccies go down well. You'll also need separate audio cables because DVI only carries video. And if your TV doesn't support HDCP (check the TV manual) you'll be limited in what you can watch - most of the HD movies require HDCP. No, when you enable one the others get disabled - that's because the hardware isn't very good at doing both HD and SD at the same time.

Is there a TV or DVD player at the house?

FAQs- Baja-house.Com
No. No TV, no movies, no phone. You can always bring a portable movie player if you want movies. We have young kids and we bring a small-screen portable DVD player so they can watch movies. The kitchen has a thatched palm (palapa) roof and two walls, but it’s open on the two sides facing the ocean. This means the view from where you cook and eat is spectacular. It also means you need to clean up after each meal or you will be visited by ants and desert mice.
