*1 The secondary and interactive audio may not be included in the output bitstream if “Digital Output” or “HDMI” option is set to “Primary Pass-Thru”. (Except LPCM Codec: the out- put always includes interactive and secondary audio.)

*2 This player automatically selects the HDMI audio according to the decoding capability of the connected HDMI device even though “HDMI” option is set to “Primary Pass-Thru”.

*3 The “PCM Multi-Ch”/”Primary Pass-Thru setting of the “HDMI” option and “DTS Re-Encode setting of the “Digi- tal Output” option cannot be set together. If you set them together, the “HDMI” or “Digital Output” option is set to “PCM Stereo” automatically.

*4 On the PCM audio output, the sampling frequency of DIGI- TAL AUDIO OUTPUT is limited to 96 kHz.

*5 If the “HDMI” or “Digital Output” option is set to [DTS Re-Encode], the audio output is limited to 48 kHz and 5.1Ch. If the “HDMI” or “Digital Output” option is set to “DTS Re-Encode”, the DTS Re-encode audio is output for BD-ROM discs, and the original audio is output for the other discs (like “Primary Pass-Thru”).

If “HDMI” option is set to “PCM Multi-Ch and “Dig- ital Output” option is set to “Primary Pass-Thru while playback Dolby Digital Plus or TrueHD audio,

DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT is limited to “PCM 2ch”.

If the HDMI connection is version 1.3 and Dolby Digital Plus/Dolby TrueHD is output from HDMI OUT jack,

DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT jack is limited to “PCM 2ch” (When the HDMI and DIGITAL AUDIO OUT- PUT are connected simultaneously).

The audio is output as PCM 48 kHz/16 bit for MP3/ WMA file and PCM 44.1 kHz/16 bit for Audio CD while playback.

The Dolby TrueHD audio recorded on some Blu-ray discs consists of Dolby Digital and TrueHD audio. Dolby Digital audio is output through DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT jacks and “DD” displays on the screen if TrueHD audio is not output (for example, when “HDMI” is set to “PCM Stereo” and “Digital Output” is set to “Primary Pass-Thru”).

You must select a digital audio output and a maximum sampling frequency that your Amplifier (or AV receiver) accepts using “Digital Output”, “HDMI” and “Sam- pling Freq.” options on the “Setup” menu (20).

With digital audio connection (DIGITAL AUDIO OUT- PUT or HDMI), Disc Menu button sounds of BD-ROM may not be heard if the “Digital Output” or “HDMI” option is set to “Primary Pass-Thru”.

If the audio format of the digital output does not match the capabilities of your receiver, the receiver will pro- duce a strong, distorted sound or no sound at all.

Multi-channel Digital Surround Sound via digital con- nection can only be obtained if your receiver is equipped with a Digital Multi-channel decoder.
