✎NOTES
`Be sure to select the correct Digital Output or
you will hear no sound or just loud noise.
`If the HDMI device (AV receiver, TV) is not
compatible with compressed formats (Dolby
Digital, DTS), the audio signal outputs as PCM.
`Regular DVDs do not have BONUSVIEW audio
and Navigation Sound Effects.
`Some Blu-ray Discs do not have BONUSVIEW
audio and Navigation Sound Effects.
`If you play MPEG audio soundtracks, the audio
signal outputs as PCM regardless of your
Digital Output selections (PCM or Bitstream).
`If your TV is not compatible with compressed
multi-channel formats (Dolby Digital, DTS), the
player may output PCM 2ch downmixed audio
even though you selected Bitstream (either Re-
encoded or Unprocessed) in the setup menu.
`If your TV is not compatible with PCM sampling
rates over 48kHz, the player may output 48kHz
downsampled PCM audio even though you set
PCM Downsampling to Off.
