with high sample rate (up to 192kHz), or 8 channels of audio with standard sample rate (up to 48kHz). If you play high resolution audio content at the 480p/576p resolution, you may get reduced audio resolution, incomplete audio channels, or even no audio/video output at all. Choosing a higher output resolution such as 720p or above allows enough bandwidth for all high sample rate audio channels.
3.Coaxial/Optical Output: Allows you to set the audio format and the upper sample rate limit for coaxial/optical (S/PDIF) digital outputs. The upper sample rate limit is used to decide whether the player will
ξ48k LPCM – Forces

ξBitstream (default) – Passes audio as compressed bitstream format to the receiver/amplifier. Choose this setting if your receiver/amplifier is capable of decoding Dolby Digital and/or DTS.
NOTE
Due to copyright restrictions and bandwidth limitations, SACD audio cannot be sent through the coaxial/optical audio output, and the high resolution audio on
4.SACD Output: Allows you to select HDMI the audio output format for SACD playback.
ξPCM (default) – SACD data is converted into
ξDSD – SACD Direct Stream Digital (DSD) data is output over HDMI without any conversion. For the analog audio outputs, DSD data is converted into an analog signal directly by the internal DAC. If you use a receiver that supports HDMI v1.2a with DSD over HDMI, or you prefer the sound quality of straight DSD to analog, please select this option.
NOTE
Due to the hardware limitation, DSD output is only available from the HDMI 2 OUT port. To listen to SACD using the HDMI 1 OUT port, please set SACD Output to PCM.
5.HDCD Decoding: Allows you to set the audio decoding option for HDCD (High Definition Compatible Digital) discs.
ξOn – HDCD is decoded by the player. You can enjoy expanded dynamic range and improved audio resolution.
