NOTE
To disable video or audio output from the HDMI terminal, set "Video Out" of "Pure Direct Setup", which
outputs high quality analog audio to "Off". To enable the HDMI signal output, set the Pure Direct mode
to one of the following setting:

(2) About number of output channels of multi-channel audio
When outputting bitstream signals to two HDMI devices, the signals are output to both HDMI devices
if they both support bitstream signals. Of only one device support bit stream, LPCM is output to the
device, which does not support bit stream.
When outputting LPCM signals to two HDMI devices, it is not possible to output multi-channel audio
signals with different numbers of channels to the two HDMI devices.
When the number of channels of multi-channel audio supported by the connected 2 HDMI devices
are different, the audio signal output to each mode becomes as follows:
• HDMI Auto (Dual) :
Outputs multi-channel audio of less number of channels to both devices.
If the supported number of channels is 7.1 channel and 5.1 channel, respectively, 5.1 channel audio
is output. If the supported number of channels is multi-channel and 2-channel (or 2.1-channel), multi-
channel and 2-channel are output.
• HDMI Auto (Independent) :
Multi-channel audio is output as is to the device, which supports more number of channels.
LPCM audio of 2-channel is output to the other device.
We recommend you use this mode when outputting to both an AV Amp and TV.
About Audio Format to be Output
n
Audio format supported by 2 connected HDMI devices is output.
When multi-channel audio is output, the output channel is as described above (2).
