When you play a video from a disc, the available audio formats depend on the following factors:
- The type of audio connection
- 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.
If you use a digital connection:
If the player is connected by HDMI:
- 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
If the player is connected by S//PDIF (Coaxial or optical)
- A Blu-ray disc with PCMallows you to select 2-Channel, bitstream or bitstream from disc
- A DVD with Dolby Digital allows you to select stereo front or bitstream from disc
- A DVD with DTS PCM allows you to select bitstream or bitstream from disc
If you use an analog connection:
