Linear PCM

1.When outputting linear PCM audio signals, if the number of compatible channels of the connected HDMI device is lower, the signals are output with the number of channels for which the device is compatible.

2.When Audio Output Mode is set to 2 Channel or Multi-channel (page 41).

3.When Dolby Digital Out is set to Dolby Digital PCM, DTS Out is set to DTS PCM, or AAC Out is set to AAC PCM (page 41).

4.When Dolby Digital Out is set to Dolby Digital 1/Dolby Digital 2, DTS Out is set to DTS 1/DTS 2 or AAC Out is set to AAC (page 41).

5.When outputting Dolby Digital or DTS Digital Surround bitstream with settings of Dolby Digital 2 at Dolby Digital Out, DTS 2 at DTS Out, the secondary audio and interactive audio signals are not mixed for output.

6.When HDMI Audio Out is set to PCM or Auto (page 42).

7.When outputting the bitstream of Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby Digital, DTS-HD Master Audio, DTS-HD High Resolution Audio or DTS Digital Surround, the secondary audio and interactive audio signals are not mixed.

8.If the connected HDMI device is not compatible with Dolby TrueHD or Dolby Digital Plus bitstream, the signals are output in Dolby Digital bitstream.

If the connected HDMI device is not compatible with DTS-HD Master Audio or DTS-HD High Resolution Audio, the signals are output in DTS Digital Surround bitstream.

If the connected HDMI device is not compatible with Dolby Digital or DTS Digital Surround bitstream, the signals are output in linear PCM.

9.Only compatible with 7.1-channel surround back. 6.1-channel surround back is output in 7.1 channels. In other cases, output as audio signals of 5.1-channels or less.

10.When the output video resolution is set to 576i/480i or 576p/480p, the signals may be output in 2 channel, depending on HDMI High-Speed Transmission setting and/or the connected HDMI device (page 15).

11.When the output video resolution is set to 576i/480i or 576p/480p, the signals may be output in Dolby Digital bitstream, depending on HDMI High-Speed Transmission setting and/or the connected HDMI device (page 15).

12.DTS Digital Surround signals converted to linear PCM audio signals are output.

13.When the output video resolution is set to 576i/480i or 576p/480p, the signals may be output in DTS Digital Surround bitstream, depending on HDMI High-Speed Transmission setting and/or the connected HDMI device (page 15).

Caution
