Audio Format Setup

The Audio Format Setup section of the Setup Menu allows you to configure preferences for audio output formats.

1.Secondary Audio: Allows you to set the Secondary Audio Program mixing option. Some Blu-ray Discs contain a secondary audio and video program, such as a director’s commentary. Some Blu-ray Discs have a sound effect when you make menu choices. This Setup Menu item allows you to decide whether to mix the Secondary Audio Program and menu sounds into the primary audio.

ξOn – The Secondary Audio Program and menu sounds are mixed into the primary audio. Usually this will cause the primary audio volume to be slightly reduced.

ξOff – The Secondary Audio Program and menu sounds are not mixed into the primary audio and you cannot hear the secondary audio or menu sounds. This setting preserves the highest possible audio quality for the primary audio.

2.HDMI Audio: Allows you to select the digital audio output format from the HDMI port. The options are:

ξAuto (default) – The player checks with the device connecting to the HDMI output to automatically determine which audio format to use.

ξLPCM – Digital audio output via HDMI will be in the multi-channel Linear PCM format. When this option is selected, compressed audio bit streams will be decoded by the player. This setting is recommended when connecting the HDMI output directly to a TV or to a receiver without advanced audio decoding capabilities.

ξBitstream – Digital audio output via HDMI will be in bitstream format. This option is recommended when connecting the HDMI output to an A/V receiver or processor that supports advanced audio decoding, such as Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio.

ξOff – No digital audio output via HDMI.

NOTE

According to the HDMI specification, the bandwidth available for audio is proportional to the total bandwidth used by video.
