Regarding DVD-Audio
Some multi-channel DVD-Audio will prevent down-mixing
(
page 19, Glossary) of all or part of their contents if this
is the manufacturer’s intention. When playing such discs,
or such parts of the 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.
