HDMI output with DVD-Audio sources
DVD-Audio sources often have high sample rates (such as 192kHz/24bit/2 channel or 96kHz/
24bit/6 channel) and the way they are output from the HDMI terminal will depend on the
specification of the connected component.
*
1
This unit checks the specification of the connected component (such sample rate / multi-
channel limitations and CPPM compatibility) and outputs the signal accordingly. Note that
‘DVD-Audio compatible’ indicates compatibility with CPPM (Content Protection for Pre-
recorded Media).
*
2
If the Speakers
Audio Output Mode
(page 71) is set to
2 channel
, multichannel sources
will be downmixed to stereo. (In cases where the source is downmix-prohibited, it is output as
5.1 channel audio.)
*
3
If the video output resolution is VGA, 480i, 576i, 480p or 576p, audio output may be limited to
2 channel (depending to the connected component).
*
4
If the Speakers
Audio Output Mode
(page 71) is set to
2 channel
, multichannel sources
will be downmixed to stereo. (In cases where the source is downmix-prohibited, only the front
left/right channels are output.)
*
5
If
CPPM
shows in the front panel display, it means it is not possible to output CPPM copy-
controlled DVD-Audio sources from the HDMI connection. Discs with no CPPM protection are
limited to 2 channel output.
