Digital Output
This setting allows you to change the output format of the HD Media Player’s HDMI and SPDIF
(Optical) digital audio connections.
HDMI LPCM 2CH: All audio formats will be decoded internally and output through the
HDMI port as 2-channel audio. If you do not have a surround-sound speaker system
and are connecting the HD Media Player directly to your TV via HDMI, this is the
preferred setting.
HDMI Passthrough: Use this setting if connecting the HD Media Player to an
HDMI-equipped multi-channel home theater receiver (AVR). In this mode, the raw
bitstream audio will be sent to the receiver to be decoded externally. This will provide
optimal sound quality when playing content that contains multichannel audio tracks
such as DTS or Dolby Digital.
S/PDIF LPCM 2CH: All audio formats will be decoded internally and output through the
SPDIF optical port as 2-channel audio. If your home stereo system or TV has SPDIF
input but is not able to decode certain formats, this is the preferred setting.
S/PDIF Passthrough: Choose this setting if connecting the HD Media Player to a multi
-channel surround sound system that has optical input but not HDMI. In this mode, the
raw bitstream audio will be sent to the receiver to be decoded externally. This will
provide optimal sound quality when playing content that contains multichannel audio
