M 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 compressed formats (Dolby digital, DTS), the audio signal outputs as PCM.

Secondary and Effect audio will not be heard with regular DVDs.

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

This Digital Output setup does not effect the analog (L/R) audio or HDMI audio output to your TV. It effects the optical and HDMI audio output when connected to a receiver.

When the player outputs HD audio bitstream(Dolby TrueHD or DTS-HD Master Audio) from the Optical jack to an HDMI 1.3 receiver, only 2 channel PCM audio will be heard.

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