Audio signals (sampling frequency, bit length, etc.) transmitted from an HDMI jack may be suppressed by the connected component. Check the setup of the connected component if the image is poor or the sound does not come out of a component connected via the HDMI cable.

Sound may be interrupted when the sampling frequency, the number of channels or the audio format of the audio output signals from the playback component is switched.

When the connected component is not compatible with copyright protection technology (HDCP), the image and/or the sound from the HDMI OUT jack may be distorted or may not be output.

In this case, check the specification of the connected component.You can enjoy multi channel Linear PCM only with an HDMI connection.
