EQ Type
Use to set the equalization pattern type. Available options are: None,
Rock, Pop, Live, Dance, Techno, Classic and Soft.
Sound Field
Use to set the sound field effect. Available options are: Off, Concert,
Living Room, Hall, Bathroom, Cave, Arena and Church.
Digital Output
Use to set the bit stream type of the digital audio output for use with
Dolby Digital and DTS-compatible receivers:
Raw – Passes the encoded multi-channel digital audio unaltered.
Choose this setting if your receiver/amplifier is capable of decoding
Dolby Digital and/or DTS.
PCM – Forces down-mixed 2-channel digital audio output. Choose this
setting if your receiver/amplifier only supports stereo digital (PCM)
audio.
LPCM Rate
Use to set the maximum Linear PCM output frequency:
48K – Supported by most equipment.
96K – Allows a higher sampling rate and frequency response. It can
result in better audio quality. Ensure that the receiver/amplifier can
support it.
192K – Allows the highest sampling rate and frequency response. It can
result in the best audio quality. Ensure that the receiver/amplifier can
support it.
HDMI Audio
Use to select digital audio output from the HDMI port:
SPDIF – Digital audio output via HDMI will be multi-channel Linear PCM
format. The Down-mix setting in the "Speaker Setup Page" will affect
whether and how multi-channel audio content will be down-mixed to
stereo. When this option is selected, compressed audio bit streams will
decoded by the DVD player. This setting is recommended when
connecting the HDMI output directly to a TV.
Auto – Digital audio output via HDMI will be the same as the digital
coaxial/optical audio output for CD, Dolby Digital and DTS audio signals.
For high resolution stereo or multichannel audio contents such as DVD-
Audio and Super Audio CD, the DVD player will send multi-channel PCM
audio signals with the highest available sample frequency and bit
numbers. Depending on the original audio content, the format could be
44.1kHz - 192kHz, 2 - 8 channels. This option is recommended when
connecting the HDMI output to an A/V receiver or processor with HDMI
v1.1 or above audio capabilities.
Off – No digital audio output via HDMI.
Notes:
If you use HDMI to connect audio to a HDMI A/V receiver or audio
processor, it is recommended that you choose 720p or higher HDMI
output resolution when playing high resolution audio content (DVD-
Audio and SACD). According to the HDMI specification, the bandwidth
available for audio is proportional to the total bandwidth used by video.
At 480p/576p resolution, the HDMI specification can only support 2
channels of audio with high sample rate (up to 192kHz), or 8 channels
of audio with standard sample rate (up to 48kHz).
Depending on the capability of your A/V receiver or audio processor, if
you play high resolution audio content at 480p/576p resolution, you
may get reduced audio resolution, incomplete audio channels, or even
no audio/video output at all. Choosing a high HDMI output resolution
such as 720p or 1080i allows enough bandwidth for all high sample rate
audio channels.
