About how digital audio formats are output

Note

• Depending on the disc, the number of channels may differ.
• Depending on the connected HDMI device, the HDMI output audio and number of channels may differ.
• The HDMI output audio and number of channels may differ when Resolution is set to 480I or 480P, as well as

when set to Auto if the connected device only supports 480i/480p.

• Three types of audio are recorded on BD video discs.

– Primary audio: The main sound.
– Secondary audio: Additional sound added supplementarily, such as comments by directors, actors, etc.
– Interactive audio: Sounds such as clicks heard when operations are performed. The interactive audio differs from

disc to disc.
