Index

The viewer's actual hardware setup (Blu-ray Disc player + AV receiver) will determine whether they will

actually hear your beautiful 7.1 surround in 7.1 or whether it will be downconverted to 5.1 or stereo.

It is important to note that some of the new audio codecs for Blu-ray Disc can take up a significant

amount of available bit rate bandwidth.

Codec Sample rate Bit rate Channels

Linear PCM 48/96/192 Khz 27.6 Mbps 8

Dolby Digital 48 Khz 640 Kbps 5.1

Dolby Digital Plus 48 Khz 0.640 Kbps/4.736 Mbps 5.1/7.1

Dolby TrueHD 48/96/192 Khz 0.640 Kbps/18.64 Mbps 2/6/8

DTS 48 Khz 1.509 Mbps 5.1

DTS-HD High Resolution 48/96 Khz 1.509 Mbps/6.0 Mbps 6.1/7.1

DTS-HD Master Audio 48/96/192 Khz 24.5 Mbps 7.1
