HDMI output with DVD-Audio sources
DVD-Audio sources often have high sample rates (such as 192kHz/24bit/2 channel or 96kHz/
24bit/6 channel) and the way they are output from the HDMI terminal will depend on the
specification of the connected component.
Component specification
HDMI Ver. 1.1 (DVD-Audio and
5.1 channel compatible)
HDMI Ver. 1.1 (DVD-Audio and
2 channel compatible)
HDMI Ver. 1.1 (Incompatible with
DVD-Audio) or only HDMI Ver. 1.0

*
This unit checks the specification of the connected component (such sample rate / multi-
channel limitations and CPPM compatibility) and outputs the signal accordingly. Note that
'DVD-Audio compatible' indicates compatibility with CPPM (Content Protection for Pre-
recorded Media).
2
* If the Speakers Audio Output Mode (page 74) is set to 2 channel, multichannel sources
will be downmixed to stereo. (In cases where the source is downmix-prohibited, it is output as
5.1 channel audio.)
3
* If the video output resolution is VGA, 480i, 576i, 480p or 576p, audio output may be limited to
2 channel (depending to the connected component).
4
* If the Speakers Audio Output Mode (page 74) is set to 2 channel, multichannel sources
will be downmixed to stereo. (In cases where the source is downmix-prohibited, only the front
left/right channels are output.)
5
* If CPPM shows in the front panel display, it means it is not possible to output CPPM copy-
controlled DVD-Audio sources from the HDMI connection. Discs with no CPPM protection are
limited to 2 channel output.
