1. If there is no secondary audio or interactive audio, depending on the disc the signals may be output without being re-encoded.
2. For multi-channel audio, the sound is converted into 2-channel audio for output.
3. When Resolution is set to 480I or 480P, or even when it is set to Auto, if the connected device does not support 480i/480p, the DSD audio
of SACDs is output in two channels, front left and front right (page 35).
4. When HDMI Audio Out is set to Bitstream, the sound is not output (page 35).
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.
• 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.
Bitstream
The primary audio, secondary
audio and interactive audio are
converted into PCM audio and
output simultaneously.
