1. This unit checks the specification of the connected component (such sample rate/multichannel limitations and
compatibility with protected audio contents) and outputs the signal accordingly. Note that ‘DVD-Audio compatible’
indicates compatibility with protected audio contents. ‘SACD compatible’ indicates compatibility with DSD signals.

2. If HDMI Out setting (page 38) is set to LPCM (2CH), DVD-Audio multichannel sources will be downmixed to
stereo. (In cases where the source is downmix-prohibited, only the front left/right channels are output.) For SACD
sources, the 2 channel (stereo) SACD audio area is selected.
If the video output resolution is 480i, 576i, 480p or 576p, audio output may be limited to 2 channel (depending to the
connected component).
