DD (Dolby Audio - DD) This mode faithfully reproduces the sound design recorded in the Dolby Digital audio format. Dolby Digital is a multi-channel digital format developed by Dolby Laboratories, Inc. and is widely adopted for use in movie production. It is also a standard audio format for DVD-Video and Blu-ray Discs. It is possible to record a maximum of 5.1 channels on a DVD-Video or Blu-ray Disc; two front channels, one center channel, two surround channels, and the LFE channel dedicated to the bass region (sound elements for the subwoofer). • To enable transfer of this audio format, connect via a digital cable and set the audio output on the player to Bitstream output. DD+ (Dolby Audio - DD+) This mode faithfully reproduces the sound design recorded in the Dolby Digital Plus audio format. The Dolby Digital Plus format has been improved based on Dolby Digital, increasing the number of channels and endeavoring to improve sound quality by giving more flexibility in data bit rates. Dolby Digital Plus is an optional audio format based on 5.1 ch for Blu-ray Discs. It is possible to record a maximum of 7.1 channels with additional channels such as the surround back channel. • To enable transfer of this audio format, connect via an HDMI cable and set the audio output on the player to Bitstream output.

This mode expands actual channels to more channels for playback according to the configuration of the connected speakers. Also, even if there is no speaker for expansion, for example when only front speakers are connected, audio of surround channel or height channel is virtually created for expansion playback. According to the speaker layout, the following listening modes are displayed. - DSur 2.0/2.1: When only front speakers are installed - DSur 3.0/3.1: When front speakers and center speaker are installed - DSur 4.0/4.1: When front speakers and surround speakers are installed - DSur 5.0/5.1: When front speakers, center speaker and surround speakers are installed - DSur 6.0/6.1: When front speakers, surround speakers and surround back speakers are installed - DSur 7.0/7.1: When front speakers, center speaker, surround speakers and surround back speakers are installed - DSur 2.0.2/2.1.2: When front speakers and height speakers are installed - DSur 3.0.2/3.1.2: When front speakers, center speaker and height speakers are installed - DSur: Selectable in the "4.1.2 ch", "5.1.2 ch", "6.1.2 ch", "7.1.2 ch", "4.1.4 ch", "5.1.4 ch", "6.1.4 ch" or "7.1.4 ch" setting with surround speakers and height speakers installed. • When "Speaker Virtualizer" ( →p140) is set to "Off" (Default: On), modes other than DSur cannot be selected. 208
