NOTE

Be sure to select the correct Digital Output or you will hear no sound or a loud noise.

If the HDMI device (Receiver, TV) is not compatible with a compressed format (Dolby digital, DTS), the audio signal outputs as PCM.

Regular DVDs do not have Secondary and Effect audio.

Some Blu-ray Discs do not have Secondary and Effect audio.

This Digital Output setup does not affect the analog (L/R) audio or HDMI audio output to your TV.

It affects the optical and HDMI audio output when the home theater is connected to a receiver.

If you play MPEG audio soundtracks, audio signal outputs PCM regardless of Digital Output Selections (PCM or Bitstream).
