About the HDMI audio output settings

07
The table below shows how the audio settings you make in the HDMI Out (page 32) and Audio Output Mode (page 36) screens affect the
HDMI output with various types of disc.
Disc audio format
DVD Dolby Digital
Dolby Digital (karaoke)
Linear PCM
DTS

DVD-Audio (with CPPM)
DVD-Audio (without CPPM)

Super Audio CD
Audio CD/MP3/WMA/MPEG-4 AAC
DTS CD
Video CD/Super VCD
1. These formats include DVD-RW discs.
2. If the HDMI device you are using is not compatible with Multi-ch formats, the output signal is the same as LPCM (2CH) setting.
3. If the HDMI device you are using is not compatible with these compressed formats, the signal is output as linear PCM.
4. If the connected component is not DVD-Audio (CPPM) compatible, it is not possible to output CPPM copy-controlled DVD-Audio sources from the HDMI connection (see
HDMI output with DVD-Audio and SACD sources below for more on this).
5. If the discs prohibit downmixing, output AUDIO OUT (5.1ch) FRONT L/R.
6. If the connected HDMI device is not compatible with protected audio contents (such as DVD-Audio or SACD), SACD audio is not output from the HDMI terminal.
HDMI output with DVD-Audio and SACD sources
The way audio sources are output from the HDMI terminal depends on the specification of the connected component.
Components specification
Component/ SACD, DVD-Audio and 5.1 channel compatible on
output HDMI
DVD-Audio and 5.1 channel compatible on HDMI
DVD-Audio and 2 channel compatible on HDMI
Incompatible with DVD-Audio on HDMI
1. This unit checks the specification of the connected component (such sample rate/multichannel limitations and compatibility with protected audio contents) and outputs
the signal accordingly. Note that 'DVD-Audio compatible' indicates compatibility with protected audio contents. 'SACD compatible' indicates compatibility with DSD signals.
2. If HDMI Out setting (page 32) is set to LPCM (2CH), DVD-Audio multichannel sources will be downmixed to stereo. (In cases where the source is downmix-prohibited, only
the front left/right channels are output.) For SACD sources, the 2 channel (stereo) SACD audio area is selected. If the output resolution is 480i, 576i, 480p or 576p, audio output
may be limited to 2 channel (depending to the connected component).
3. In cases where the source is downmix-prohibited, only the front left/right channels are output.
4.
If CPPM shows in the front panel display, it means it is not possible to output CPPM copycontrolled DVD-Audio sources from the HDMI connection. Discs with no CPPM
protection are limited to 2 channel output.
