DIGITAL RIGHTS MANAGEMENT DRM
HDCP CONTENT PROTECTION
This is a type of Digital Rights Management (DRM) that prevents or restricts the copying of high-denition
content. Some high-denition programmes may be transmitted with HDCP content protection enabled.
The DVI and/or HDMI inputs on your HDTV must support HDCP Content Protection, in order for you to view
protected programmes. If your HDTV does not support HDCP, your set-top box will display the message “HD
output disabled due to Content Protection” on its front panel, and your HDTV will not display a picture for
HDCP-protected programmes.
In addition to the above, the output from your set-top box’s component video connectors (YPbPr) may
be disabled or restricted. When the output is disabled, the message “HD output disabled due to Content
Protection” displays on your set-top box’s front panel. When the output is restricted, the component video
output is downscaled to 576 i 25, and the message “Component output is downscaled due to Content
Protection” displays on your set-top box’s front panel.
NOTE: HDCP Content Protection does not disable or restrict the video output from your set-top
box’s SCART connectors.
