Note

Based on the audio channels contained in the source, the corresponding speakers will output the sound. If there are no surround back speakers, or Powered Zone 2 is being used, Dolby Pro Logic II is used. Surround back and front wide speakers are not supported.

Front high and front wide speakers are not supported.

For the Blu-ray Discs, Dolby Digital is used in a 3.1/5.1-channel speaker system.

AV receiver can input the DSD signal from HDMI IN. Setting the output setting on the player side to PCM might obtain a better sound according to the player. In that case, set the output setting on the player side to PCM.

DTS is used depending on the configuration of the AV receiver (e.g., Audyssey Dynamic EQ® is on). If there are no surround back speakers, DTS is used.
