About the HDMI audio output settings
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.
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.
Disc audio format
HDMI Out setting
LPCM (2CH)
LPCM (5.1CH)

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.
Dolby Digital
3
3. If the HDMI device you are using is not compatible with these compressed formats, the signal is output as linear PCM.

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.) When
SACD Playback setting (page 34) is set to Multi-ch Area, SACD multichannel sources are downmixed to stereo for output.
When SACD Playback is set to
2ch Area or CD Area, the signals are output in 2 channels (stereo). If the output resolution is 480i, 576i, 480p or 576p, audio output may be
limited to 2 channel (depending to the connected component).

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.
