When audio source is Multi-channel, decorded as 7.1ch. However, number of the output audio channel will depend
on the number of the connected speakers.
• If the connected device is not compatible with the HDMI BITSTREAM, audio will be output as multi LPCM or 2-channel
down-mixed LPCM depending on the capability of the connected device even if you select “HDMI Multi(Normal)” in
“HDMI Audio Out” setting. Refer to page 38.
• When playing back a BD-video which only contains the primary audio, the audio output will be the same case as the
“HD Audio Output” even if the “BD Audio Mode” is set to “Mix Audio Output”.
Note
• The audio signals from HDMI OUT jack (including the sampling frequency, the number of channels and bit length)
maybe limited by the device that is connected.
• Among the devices that support HDMI, some do not support audio output (e.g. projectors). In connections with
device such as this unit, audio signals are not output from HDMI OUT jack.
• Video and audio signals may be distorted temporarily when switching to / from the HDMI output mode.
