PCM (Digital)

Pulse Code Modulation (PCM) decoders support L/R stereo only. If selected, audio outputs are decoded and transmitted to the Digital Output (SPDIF) in PCM mode.

Dolby Digital® Audio

Dolby Digital® audio, formerly known as Audio Coding 3rd Generation or 5.1 channel audio, is a coding technique that provides up to five independent, full frequency response audio chan- nels and one low frequency bass channel. Dolby Digital signals are available only when pro- vided by the broadcaster.

NOTE

Refer to section 2-5 to see more detailed information.

NOTE

Please make sure that your A/V ampli- fier supports Dolby Digital decoding, as not all A/V amplifiers support 5.1 decoding.
