CHAPTER 1: Using Your Gateway Flat-Panel Monitor

14

For example, while watching a movie on a HDCP-enabled DVD player, you change the receiving
device (DTV, monitor, or projector) input to watch broadcast TV, then change the input back to watch
the DVD movie. However, you are unable to watch the movie. This is because when the input was
changed, the receiver lost the HDCP signal. Restart the HDCP-enabled DVD player to allow
renegotiation.

What is the cause if a movie starts and then slowly fades to static?
The receiving device is not HDCP compatible or it is not negotiating correctly. Restart the video
source and re-plug all video cables from the source to the TV.

How do I know if a component is HDCP compliant?
If the video source device does not have a DVI or HDMI connection, it is not HDCP compliant.
