Audio Output Settings (Audio Out)

You can switch the method of outputting audio signals when you connect a component such as an amplifier (receiver) with a digital input jack.

bNote

When HDMI output is performed to equipment not compatible with DTS signals, the signals will not be output regardless of the “DTS Output” setting.
