Configuring M-Class Player Audio Behavior to Match 1080p Player
Audio Behavior
A 1080p Player sends stereo audio over analog, sends DVD source
bitstream audio over optical/coaxial, and sends either of these two formats
over HDMI, depending on the configuration setting.
The default behavior of an M-Class player is similar to the 1080p Player
audio for optical/coaxial and analog outputs; however, the DVD source
bitstream is converted to up to 5.1-channel PCM over HDMI. If an attached
HDMI device does not support 5.1-channel PCM, stereo audio is used. There
is no new configuration setting to match exact 1080p Player audio behavior.
Some audio configuration settings can be modified to resemble the volume
levels and configuration settings of the 1080p Player more closely.
• Number of audio channels can be set to Two-channel (always send
stereo PCM).
• Dynamic range preference for movies can be set to Enable DRC.
