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.

Only the primary audio (the
main sound for movies, etc.) is

The primary audio, secondary
audio and interactive audio are
converted into PCM audio and
output simultaneously.

1. In case of Quick View (Quick view with audio), the audio output will be equal to the PCM setting regardless of any other settings. The LFE
channel, however, is not output (5.1

The primary audio, secondary
audio and interactive audio are
converted into PCM audio then
converted again into Dolby
Digital audio or DTS audio and
output simultaneously.
