Blu-ray Discs may include three audio streams : -- Main Feature Audio : The audio soundtrack

of the main feature.

-- BONUSVIEW audio : An additional soundtrack such as the director or actor’s commentary.

-- Navigation Sound Effects : When you choose a menu navigation selection, a Navigation Sound Effect may sound.

Navigation Sound Effects are different on each Blu-ray Disc.

✎✎ NOTES

`` Be sure to select the correct Digital Output or you will hear no sound or just loud noise.

`` If the HDMI device (AV receiver, TV) is not compatible with compressed formats (Dolby Digital, DTS), the audio signal outputs as PCM.

`` Regular DVDs do not have BONUSVIEW audio and Navigation Sound Effects.

`` Some Blu-ray Discs do not have BONUSVIEW audio and Navigation Sound Effects.

`` If you play MPEG audio soundtracks, the audio signal outputs as PCM regardless of your Digital Output selections (PCM or Bitstream).

`` If your TV is not compatible with compressed multi-channel formats (Dolby Digital, DTS), the player may output PCM 2ch downmixed audio even though you selected Bitstream (either Re- encoded or Unprocessed) in the setup menu.

`` If your TV is not compatible with PCM sampling rates over 48kHz, the player may output 48kHz downsampled PCM audio even though you set PCM Downsampling to Off.

PCM Downsampling

Lets you choose to have 96KHz PCM signals downsampled to 48KHz before they are outputted to an amplifier. Choose only if your amplifier or receiver is not compatible with a 96KHz signal.

Dynamic Range Control

Lets you apply dynamic range control to Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, and Dolby True HD audio.

•Auto : Automatically controls the dynamic range of Dolby TrueHD audio, based

on information in the Dolby TrueHD soundtrack.

Also turns dynamic range control on for Dolby Digital and Dolby Digital Plus.

•Off : Leaves the dynamic range uncompressed, letting you hear the original sound.

•On : Turns dynamic range control on for all three Dolby formats. Quieter sounds are made louder and the volume of loud sounds is reduced.

Downmixing Mode

Lets you select the multi-channel downmix method that is compatible with your stereo system. You can choose to have the player downmix to normal stereo or to surround compatible stereo.
