Connection Examples for HDMI AUDIO SETUP
HDMI-supported monitor or projector, etc. (2-channel support or no audio support)
•
2CH························Use this connection when you would like to enjoy the multi-channel audio output from an analog audio output
connector.
HDMI-supported monitor/AV amplifier, etc. (Supports DTS and Dolby Digital decoders)
•
MULTI (NORMAL)
···Use this connection when you would like to enjoy the multi-channel audio output from an HDMI connector and you
wish to have a DTS, Dolby Digital, or other decoder connected to do the processing. (Speaker and other settings
are not required.)
HDMI-supported monitor (Supports audio input for 2 or more channels)
•
MULTI (LPCM)·······Use this connection when you would like to enjoy the multi-channel output from an HDMI connector and the
connection point does not support a DTS, Dolby Digital, or other decoder. (Speaker settings are permitted.)
NOTES:
•
HDMI audio output settings permit the selection of either 2
channels or multi-channels. When selecting multi (NORMAL) or
MULTI (LPCM), a down-mixed audio signal is only output from
the analog connectors (Left/Right and Front Left/Front Right) of
the DVD-2910/955. To output multi-channel sound from the
analog audio output connectors, set HDMI to OFF, or select 2CH.
•
When the HDMI audio setting is set to multi-channel, the
“AUDIO CHANNEL”, “DIGITAL OUTPUT”, “LPCM (44.1
kHz/48 kHz)”, “SOURCE DIRECT”, and “BASS ENHANCER”
under “AUDIO SETUP”.
•
The HDMI audio output is turned off if the digital output is set
to “OFF” at “PURE DIRECT”, and the HDMI video and audio
output are both turned off if the video output is set to “OFF”
or if “ALL OFF” is set. (See Pages 43, 44.)
Also note that it will not be possible to select the setting of
digital output, when selecting “MULTI (NORMAL)” at “HDMI
AUDIO SETUP”.
• When selecting MULTI (NORMAL) or MULTI (LPCM), the
DVD-2910/955 speaker settings under “AUDIO
SETUP”become invalid.
• When playing a Super Audio CD with an HDMI connection,
audio cannot be transferred beyond the CD layer. Make an
analog connection for this.
• Among the devices that support HDMI, some devices can
control other devices via the HDMI connector; however, the
DVD-2910/955 cannot be controlled by another device vice
the HDMI connector.
• When using display equipment that is not supported by the
HDCP (content protection function), the image will not be
output properly. (See the compatibility table.)
• The audio signals from the HDMI connector (including the
sampling frequency and bit length) may be limited by the
equipment that is connected.
