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.

1
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 HDMI Audio setting (page 38) is set to LPCM (2 CH), multichannel sources will be downmixed
*
to stereo. (In cases where the source is downmix-prohibited, only the front left/right channels are
output.)
If the video 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 copycon-
*
trolled DVD-Audio sources from the HDMI connection. Discs with no CPPM protection are limited
to 2 channel output.
