Audio
If the monitor or device you have connected
using HDMI is not compatible with
compressed multi-channel formats, you
should set this to LPCM, otherwise set to
Auto.
• LPCM – All audio signals are downmixed
to linear PCM (2-channel).
• Auto – Dolby Digital, DTS and MPEG
sources are processed according to how
they were encoded, and linear PCM
sources are heard with no processing.
• Even with Auto selected, if the monitor or
device you have connected using HDMI is
not compatible with multi-channel
formats, the audio signal will be
downmixed to linear PCM as above.
• It is not possible to output SACD, or copy-
controlled DVD-Audio CPPM sources
from the HDMI connection.
• 96/192 kHz sources are downsampled to
48 kHz and 88.2/176.4 kHz sources are
downsampled to 44.1 kHz.

When set to PCM Playback, playback is opti-
mized for standard audio CDs. You can also
play DTS CDs, however you may notice some
noise when a DTS CD starts playing. This is
not a malfunction.
When set to DTS CD Playback, playback is
optimized for DTS CDs. In this mode you
cannot play standard audio CDs through the
analog outputs. Change the setting back to
PCM Playback to play standard CDs.
The i.LINK audio output is not affected by this
setting.
DTS Downmix
• Default setting: Stereo
If you've selected DTS > PCM in DTS Out on
page 64, or 2 Channel in Audio Output Mode
below, you can choose the way the DTS signal
is downmixed PCM audio. Stereo downmixes
the signal to 2-channel stereo, whereas Lt/Rt
downmixes to a 2-channel signal compatible
with Dolby surround matrix decoders. (This
allows you to hear surround sound if your AV
receiver or amplifier has Dolby Pro Logic
capability.)
