*2 [BD-V]: When playing BD-Video without secondary audio or button click sound, the audio is output as the same format as if “BD-Video Secondary Audio” was set to “Off”.

*3 When the connected equipment is not supported with multi channel surround, the audio is output as down-mixed 2ch PCM.

*4 [BD-V]: When the connected equipment is supported with 7.1 channel surround, the audio output is amplified from 5.1ch or 6.1ch to 7.1ch depending on the DTS, Inc. specifications.

*5 With PCM output, Dolby Digital EX becomes PCM audio decoded as Dolby Digital, DTS-ES recorded to DVD-Video becomes PCM audio decoded as DTS Digital Surround, and DTS-ES recorded to BD-Video becomes PCM audio decoded as DTS-ES.

*6 [BD-V]: When “BD-Video Secondary Audio” is set to “On”, Dolby Digital EX is output as Dolby Digital and DTS-ES is output as DTS Digital Surround, however if playing BD-Video without secondary audio or button click sound, the audio is output as the original format.
