This Digital Output setup does not affect the
analog (L/R) audio or HDMI audio output to your

when the home theater is connected to a receiver.
If you play MPEG audio soundtracks, audio
outputs as PCM regardless of your Digital Output
Selection (PCM or Bitstream).

clearly. This is only active when a Dolby Digital
signal is detected.
Off

On

volume without losing clarity of dialog.

automatically based on the information
provided by the Dolby TrueHD Soundtrack.
