6. HDCD Decoding

To set the audio decoding option for HDCD (High Definition Compatible Digital) discs. The options are:

On – HDCD is decoded by the 651/751BD. For HDCD discs, this gives expanded dynamic range and improved audio resolution.

Off – HDCD is treated as regular CD and output as a native bitstream preserving the hidden encoding. This is useful when the 651/751BD is connected to an HDCD-capable A/V receiver via a digital audio output link (Coaxial, Optical, or HDMI) the output is unprocessed so the A/V receiver can perform HDCD decoding instead.
