• The type of disc and the format in which the audio is stored
• The selected digital audio format (only for S/PDIF and HDMI connections)
• The type of accessory equipment that you have connected to reproduce the sound.

  • A Blu-ray disc allows you to select 2-Channel, 5.1-Channel or bitstream
  • A DVD with Dolby Digital allows you to select stereo front or bitstream from disc
  • A DVD with DTS PCMallows you to select bitstream or bitstream from disc
