Audio information
“––” appears when this unit cannot display the corresponding
information.
Some high definition audio bitstream contents may not include
the discrete surround back left and right channel signals but are
encoded at the bitrate of 192 kHz.
Even if you make settings to output bitstreams directly, some
players convert the Dolby TrueHD or Dolby Digital Plus
bitstreams to the Dolby Digital bitstreams, while converting the
DTS-HD Master Audio or DTS-HD High Resolution Audio
bitstreams to the DTS bitstreams.

channels, 2 surround channels and LFE, is
displayed as “3/2/0.1”.
Bitrate The number of bits passing a given point per
second.

signals that cue this unit to automatically
switch decoders.
