television's request for audio and submits its own audio specification back to the
HDMI source component.

Now the DVD player can satisfy both the television's request for 720p and
the receiver's request for 6.1-channel audio. The audio is available on the
receiver only. Since 6.1-channel sound is beyond its capabilities, the television
cannot play sound.
