Audio

If the monitor or device you have connected using HDMI is not compatible with compressed multi-channel formats, you should set this to LPCM, otherwise set to Auto.

•LPCM – All audio signals are downmixed to linear PCM (2-channel).

•Auto – Dolby Digital, DTS and MPEG sources are processed according to how they were encoded, and linear PCM sources are heard with no processing.

•Even with Auto selected, if the monitor or device you have connected using HDMI is not compatible with multi-channel formats, the audio signal will be downmixed to linear PCM as above.

•It is not possible to output SACD, or copy- controlled DVD-Audio CPPM sources from the HDMI connection.

•96/192 kHz sources are downsampled to 48 kHz and 88.2/176.4 kHz sources are downsampled to 44.1 kHz.

When set to PCM Playback, playback is opti- mized for standard audio CDs. You can also play DTS CDs, however you may notice some noise when a DTS CD starts playing. This is not a malfunction.

When set to DTS CD Playback, playback is optimized for DTS CDs. In this mode you cannot play standard audio CDs through the analog outputs. Change the setting back to PCM Playback to play standard CDs.

The i.LINK audio output is not affected by this setting.

If you’ve selected DTS > PCM in DTS Out on page 64, or 2 Channel in Audio Output Mode below, you can choose the way the DTS signal is downmixed PCM audio. Stereo downmixes the signal to 2-channel stereo, whereas Lt/Rt downmixes to a 2-channel signal compatible with Dolby surround matrix decoders. (This allows you to hear surround sound if your AV receiver or amplifier has Dolby Pro Logic capability.)
