Digital Audio
This setting only applies if the unit is connected via a digital optical cable to
an external audio receiver or amplifier using the S/PDIF connection.
1. Access the Settings menu.
2. Press the buttons to select Display & Audio in the section bar.
3. Press the buttons to select Digital Audio.
If the unit is connected to a surround sound A/V system:
1. Press the buttons to select “Bitstream”. This will pass a
multichannel digital signal to your AV system.
If the unit is connected to a 2-channel (stereo) system:
1. Use the “Stereo” setting.
2. Press the OK button to confirm your choice.
3. Press the BACK button or the EXIT button to exit the main menu.
Setting “Stereo” forces the digital output into two-channel mode. If you select “Stereo” and
you are using a multichannel (5.1 or 7.1) A/V system the surround channels (and possibly
the bass) may disappear.
Do NOT select the “Bitstream” output if you are using this unit with a Stereo system. If you
do the sound will be distorted or may vanish completely!
