get reduced audio resolution, incomplete audio channels, or even no audio/video output at all.
Choosing a higher output resolution such as 720p or above allows enough bandwidth for all
high sample rate audio channels.
3.
HDMI Audio Zone:
Configure audio output zone options.
1=Main, 2=Off
(default) – Select HDMI 1 as the Main Audio Zone, and turn off audio on
HDMI 2. This option is most suitable when you designate HDMI 2 as your Main Video Zone
and connect it to a projector or TV without speakers, and connect HDMI 1 to an A/V receiver.
1=Main, 2=2ch LPCM
– Select HDMI 1 as the Main Audio Zone, and output 2ch LPCM audio
to HDMI 2. This option is most suitable when you designate HDMI 2 as your Main Video Zone
and connect it to a TV with built-in speakers, and connect HDMI 1 to an A/V receiver.
1=2=Main
– Select both HDMI 1 and HDMI 2 as the Main Audio Zone. Audio output will be in
a format that is supported by devices on both ports. This option is most suitable when you
have identical equipment on the two HDMI ports, such as a TV on each port.
1=Off, 2=Main
–Select HDMI 2 as the Main Audio Zone, and turn off audio on HDMI 1. This
option is most suitable when you designate HDMI 1 as your Main Video Zone and connect it
to a projector or TV without speakers, and connect HDMI 2 to an A/V receiver.
NOTE
HDMI Audio Zone
option is not available if the player is equipped with only one HDMI output
port. It becomes available when a module with an “HDMI 2” port is installed.
4.
S/PDIF Output:
Allows you to set the audio format and the upper sample rate limit for
coaxial/optical (S/PDIF) digital outputs. The upper sample rate limit is used to decide whether the
player shall down-sample audio (the player does not up-sample audio to higher sample rates).
48k LPCM
– Forces down-mixed 2-channel, linear PCM (LPCM) digital audio format, and sets
the maximum sample rate to 48kHz. This is supported by most receivers/amplifiers. This
option is automatically selected if the
HDMI Audio Zone
setting is “
1=Main, 2=2ch LPCM
”, as
the same S/PDIF signal is used for both HDMI 2 and the coaxial/optical digital outputs.
96k LPCM
– Forces down-mixed 2-channel, linear PCM (LPCM) digital audio format and sets
the maximum sample rate to 96kHz. It can result in better audio quality but ensure the
receiver/amplifier can support it.
192k LPCM
– Forces down-mixed 2-channel, linear PCM (LPCM) digital audio format and
sets the maximum sample rate to192kHz. It can result in better audio quality but ensure the
receiver/amplifier can support it.
Bitstream
(default) – Passes audio as compressed bit-stream format to the receiver/amplifier.
Choose this setting if your receiver/amplifier is capable of decoding Dolby Digital and/or DTS.
NOTE
Due to copyright restrictions and bandwidth limitations, SACD audio cannot be sent through the
coaxial/optical audio output, and the high resolution audio on DVD-Audio and Blu-ray discs will
be sent out at reduced resolution. Details can be found on page 22.
5. DVD-Audio
Mode:
Select which portion of a DVD-Audio disc to play.
