1.From the Audio menu, use the Up/ Down Arrow buttons on the remote to highlight Digital Output and press

SELECT.

The Digital Output menu is displayed.

2.Highlight the digital audio format best suited to your home audio receiver and press SELECT:

PCM - Use this setting if you do not have a receiver connected to the player, or if you have an “old-fashioned” stereo receiver connected to the player using the stereo analog (L and R) ports.

Bitstream HD - Use this setting if you have an HDMI-connected reciever capable of decoding DTS-HD Master Audio and Dolby TrueHD digital audio. This is the best quality digital audio setting. When using this setting, you can only listen to the primary audio track on a disc (this is usually the movie’s soundtrack).

Bitstream Legacy - Use this setting if you have an Optical/SPDIF- connected receiver capable of decoding DTS, Dolby Digital, or Dolby Digital Plus audio.

Bitstream Mixed - Use this setting if you have an Optical/SPDIF- or HDMI-connected receiver capable of decoding DTS, Dolby Digital, or Dolby Digital Plus audio and you would like to be able to hear secondary audio tracks on your discs (directors’ commentaries, etc).
