Audio Mode Switch

Via EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) a connected TV or AV receiver signals its capabilities (e.g. supported sound format). The HDMI source then automatically delivers only supported formats. The Audio Mode switch allows you to manually set the EDID for the sound format and force stereo or 5.1 sound.

Auto: Bypass, output depends on the best sound format supported by the connected HDMI device. HD sound or 7.1 is also possible.

2.0: The output signal is stereo at all audio connections.

5.1: Output signal is in 5.1 audio format (only if 5.1 audio track is present.)

Note:
HD sound formats such as Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD can only be transmitted via HDMI. 5. 1 sound like Dolby Digital or DTS can also be transmitted via SPDIF Toslink and Coaxial output, depending on the source material.
