With a single cable connection between components,
HDMI is able to deliver uncompressed high-definition
digital video and digital audio programming. Please
note that the AVR Receiver in this system does not
process audio through HDMI. Therefore, a separate
digital audio connection must be established between
the DVD player and AVR.

DVD player is designed to digitally output
96kHz-PCM audio with a 96kHz sampling rate.
However, some 96kHz DVD's may include copy
protection codes that do not permit digital output.
In this case, use the "Down Sample" setup menu
to switch the sampling rate to 48kHz.
