PCMBitstream (Re-encode)Bitstream (Audiophile)Blu-ray Discs may include three audio streams.-Primary Audio : The audio soundtrack of the main feature.

-Secondary Audio : Additional soundtrack such as director or actor's commentary.

-Interactive Audio : Interactive sounds will be heard when selected. Interactive Audio is different on each Blu-ray Disc.

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 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 analogue (L/R) audio or HDMI audio output to your TV.

It effects the optical and HDMI audio output when connected to a receiver.

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

Dynamic Range Control

You can listen at low volumes but still hear dialog clearly. This is only active when a Dolby Digital signal is detected.

Off : Turn Dynamic Range Control off.

On : Choose to listen to a movie at a lower volume without losing clarity of dialog.

Auto : The Dynamic Range Control will be set automatically based on the information provided by the Dolby TrueHD Soundtrack.
