HDMI output with DVD-Audio sources

DVD-Audio sources often have high sample rates (such as 192kHz/24bit/2 channel or 96kHz/ 24bit/6 channel) and the way they are output from the HDMI terminal will depend on the specification of the connected component.

*1 This unit checks the specification of the connected component (such sample rate / multi- channel limitations and CPPM compatibility) and outputs the signal accordingly. Note that ‘DVD-Audio compatible’ indicates compatibility with CPPM (Content Protection for Pre- recorded Media).

*2 If the Speakers Audio Output Mode (page 71) is set to 2 channel, multichannel sources will be downmixed to stereo. (In cases where the source is downmix-prohibited, it is output as 5.1 channel audio.)

*3 If the video output resolution is VGA, 480i, 576i, 480p or 576p, audio output may be limited to 2 channel (depending to the connected component).

*4 If the Speakers Audio Output Mode (page 71) is set to 2 channel, multichannel sources will be downmixed to stereo. (In cases where the source is downmix-prohibited, only the front left/right channels are output.)

*5 If CPPM shows in the front panel display, it means it is not possible to output CPPM copy- controlled DVD-Audio sources from the HDMI connection. Discs with no CPPM protection are limited to 2 channel output.
