Note
• Even if you set
Audio Out
to
5.1 Channel
,
you’ll only get sound from all speakers when
playing a multi-channel DVD-Audio disc, multi-
channel Super Audio CD disc, Dolby Digital or
DTS encoded DVD disc.
• If you set to
2 Channel
, Dolby Digital and DTS
are mixed down to two channels so you still
hear all the audio recorded on the disc.
• Some DVD-Audio discs don’t allow down-
mixing of audio. These discs always output
multi-channel audio regardless of the setting
made here.
• Sound recorded on MPEG is outputted on 2
channel even if Audio Out is set to
5.1 CH
.
• This setting cannot be chosen when HDMI is
connected while either
Auto
or
Multi PCM
selected for the HDMI audio setting. (
page 54
)
• Audio is not output from the audio output jacks
when i.LINK is connected. (

Set this to

ting 2-channel audio, set to
