Regarding DVD-Audio
Some multi-channel DVD-Audio will prevent down-mixing (➔ page 40) of all or part of their contents if this is the manufacturer’s intention. When
playing such discs, or such parts of disc, unless the number of connected speakers is the same as the disc’s channel specification, audio will not
be output properly (e.g. part of the audio is missing, multi-channel audio cannot be selected and audio is played in two channels). Refer to the
disc’s jacket for more information.
