Abstract: A disk reproducing device which is connected to a television device meeting an HDMI standard and is operable to output information data that has a native format and is recorded on a disk to the television device, includes: an obtaining unit, operable to obtain an EDID including video resolution information which is transmitted from the television device; a discriminating unit, operable to discriminate whether or not the native format is present in the video resolution information; and an outputting unit, operable to output the information data to the television device in the native format, in a case where the discriminating unit discriminates that the native format is present in the video resolution information.

Abstract: An HDMI connector is adapted to be connected to a display device conforming to an HDMI standard. A signal processor is operable to decode a digital signal received through the HDMI connector and extract first language information which indicates a setting language of the display device when the digital signal contains the first language information. A storage is operable to store second language information which indicates a setting language of the information recording and reproducing apparatus.

Abstract: A moving image reproducing apparatus that can produce appropriate information concerning the occurrence of a communication error in the DDC includes an error detecting unit that detects a communication error in a display data channel (DDC); an error information generating unit that generates error information if a communication error in the DDC is detected by the error detecting unit; and an error information output unit that delivers the error information to the display device via a transition minimized differential signaling (TMDS) channel.

Abstract: An image display system includes a transmitter device that can transmit video data and audio data, and a receiver device that is connected via an HDMI cable to the transmitter device and that includes a display device that displays video based on video data from the transmitter device and an audio output device that outputs audio based on audio data from the transmitter device.

Abstract: A transmitting apparatus is provided, which is capable of adding information indicating presence/absence of copyright protection information on an optical disc on which music contents are recorded in a format of digital audio, MP3, or the like. In this transmitting apparatus, when a loaded optical disc is determined to be an optical disc of music media, it is determined whether or not audio data contains copyright protection information. If it is determined that the copyright protection information is contained, copyright presence packet data is generated and is transmitted together with the audio data. If it is determined that the copyright protection information is not contained, it is determined whether or not there is a request for adding copyright protection information. If it is determined that there is the request, the copyright presence packet data is generated and is transmitted together with the audio data in the same way.
