NOTE
Be sure to select the correct Digital Output
or you will hear no sound or a loud noise.
If the HDMI device (Receiver, TV) is not compatible
with a compressed format (Dolby digital, DTS), the
audio signal outputs as PCM.
Regular DVDs do not have Secondary and Effect
audio.
Some Blu-ray Discs do not have Secondary and
Effect audio.
This Digital Output setup does not affect the
analog (L/R) audio or HDMI audio output to your
TV.
It affects the optical and HDMI audio output when
the home theater is connected to a receiver.
If you play MPEG audio soundtracks, audio signal
outputs PCM regardless of Digital Output
Selections (PCM or Bitstream).
