Samsung BD-P1620 user manual PCM Down Sampling, Dynamic Compression

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).
