PCM Downsampling
Lets you set 48kHz and 96kHz PCM down-
sampling on or off.
• Off : Select when the AV receiver
connected to the player is 96kHz
compatible.
• On : Select when the AV receiver
connected to the player is not 96kHz
compatible. 96kHz signals will be down
converted to 48kHz.
✎
NOTE
▪ Even when PCM Downsampling is set to Off,
some discs will only output downsampled audio
through the coaxial digital outputs.
HDMI
• If your TV is not compatible with
compressed multi-channel formats (Dolby
Digital, DTS), the player may output PCM
2ch downmixed audio even though you
selected Bitstream (either Re-encoded or
Unprocessed) in the setup menu.
• If your TV is not compatible with PCM
sampling rates over 48kHz, the player may
output 48kHz downsampled PCM audio
even though you set PCM Downsampling
to Off.
Dynamic Range Control
You can listen at low volumes, but still hear
dialog clearly.
This is only active if your player detects a
Dolby Digital signal.
• Auto : The Dynamic Range Control will be
set automatically based on the information
provided by the Dolby TrueHD Soundtrack.
• Off : You can enjoy the movie with the
standard Dynamic Range.
• On : When Movie soundtracks are played
at low volume or through smaller speakers,
the system can apply appropriate
compression to make low-level content
more intelligible and prevent dramatic
passages from getting too loud.
Downmixing Mode
Lets you select how the player will downmix
multi-channel audio into fewer channels.
• Normal Stereo : Downmixes the multi-
channel audio into two channel stereo.
Choose when connected to equipment that
does not support virtual surround functions
such as Dolby Pro Logic.
• Surround Compatible : Downmixes multi-
channel audio into surround compatible
stereo. Choose when connected to
equipment that supports virtual surround
functions such as Dolby Pro Logic.
Blu-ray Discs may include three audio
streams :
- Main Feature Audio : The audio soundtrack
of the main feature.
- BONUSVIEW audio : An additional
soundtrack such as the director or actor’s
commentary.
- Navigation Sound Effects : When you
choose a menu navigation selection, a
Navigation Sound Effect may sound.
Navigation Sound Effects are different on
each Blu-ray Disc.

NOTE
▪
Be sure to select the correct Digital Output or
you will hear no sound or just loud noise.
▪
If the HDMI device (AV receiver, TV) is not
compatible with compressed formats (Dolby
digital, DTS), the audio signal outputs as PCM.
▪
Regular DVDs do not have BONUSVIEW audio
and Navigation Sound Effects.
▪
Some Blu-ray Discs do not have BONUSVIEW
audio and Navigation Sound Effects.
▪
This Digital Output setup does not affect the
HDMI audio output to your TV. It affects the
coaxial and HDMI audio output when your player
is connected to an AV receiver.
▪
If you play MPEG audio soundtracks, the audio
signal outputs as PCM regardless of your Digital
Output selections (PCM or Bitstream).
