Audio

If the monitor or device you have connected using HDMI is not compatible with compressed multi-channel formats, you should set this to Linear PCM, otherwise set to Auto.

•Linear PCM – All audio signals are output as linear PCM.

•Auto – Dolby Digital, DTS and MPEG sources are processed according to how they were encoded, and linear PCM sources are heard with no processing.

•Even with Auto selected, if the monitor or device you have connected using HDMI is not compatible with multi-channel formats, the audio signal will be output as linear PCM.

•It is not possible to output SACD from the HDMI connection.

•If necessary, sources with high sample rates (such as DVD-Audio 88.2/96/176.4/ 192 kHz sources) will be downsampled to match the sampling rate of your connected HDMI component.

i.LINK Setup

When set to PCM Playback, playback is opti- mized for standard audio CDs. You can also play DTS CDs, however you may notice some noise when a DTS CD starts playing. This is not a malfunction.

When set to DTS CD Playback, playback is optimized for DTS CDs. In this mode you cannot play standard audio CDs through the analog outputs. Change the setting back to PCM Playback to play standard CDs.

The i.LINK audio output is not affected by this setting.
