Depending on your specific audio/video connection method, the audio format options of the OPPO Blu-ray Disc Player may need to be adjusted to match your configuration. Please refer to the video and audio connection methods described previously in this guide and the following audio setup guidelines.

Audio Connection Directly to TV

If the player is connected directly to the TV through HDMI (as described in “Method 1” on page 10), through DVI and analog L/R audio cables (as described in “Method 2” on page 11), or through component video and analog L/R audio cables (as described in “Method 3” on page 13), it is recommended that you use the following audio format options:

o	Secondary Audio:	On
o	HDMI Audio:	LPCM
o	SACD Output:	PCM
o	HDCD Decoding:	On
o	Coaxial Optical Output:	(any – not in use)
o	LPCM Rate Limit:	(any – not in use)

Multi-Channel Digital Audio to Receiver through HDMI

If the player is connected to an A/V receiver or processor with HDMI inputs for high resolution multi-channel digital audio, you are in luck! You are now equipped to send all current audio formats to your receiver in pure digital form. This connection method will typically be as described in “Method 4” on page 14 of this guide.

To get the best possible audio via HDMI, you may need to set the following options on the player’s audio format Setup Menu, depending on the capabilities of your HDMI-capable receiver:

•If your receiver supports HDMI v1.3 with decoding capability for high resolution lossless audio formats such as Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio, please set these audio format options:

o	Secondary Audio:	Off (or On if you need secondary audio)
o	HDMI Audio:	Bitstream
o	SACD Output:	PCM (or DSD if the receiver supports DSD over HDMI)
o	HDCD Decoding:	On (or Off if the receiver can decode HDCD)
o	Coaxial Optical Output:	(any – not in use)
o	LPCM Rate Limit:	(any – not in use)

•If your receiver supports HDMI v1.1/1.2 Multi-Channel PCM audio, but not high resolution lossless audio formats such as Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio, please set these audio format options:

o	Secondary Audio:	Off (or On if you need secondary audio)
o	HDMI Audio:	LPCM
o	SACD Output:	PCM (or DSD if the receiver supports DSD over HDMI)
o	HDCD Decoding:	On (or Off if the receiver can decode HDCD)
o	Coaxial Optical Output:	(any – not in use)
o	LPCM Rate Limit:	(any – not in use)

In this configuration you can enjoy all audio formats using the HDMI connection.
