Dolby Atmos

This mode faithfully reproduces the sound design recorded in the Dolby Atmos
audio format.
The Dolby Atmos audio format has been implemented in movie theaters
equipped with the latest facilities, and enables a revolutionary sound experience
in home theaters. Unlike existing surround systems, Dolby Atmos doesn't rely on
channels, but rather enables the accurate placement of sound objects that have
independent motion in a three-dimensional space with even greater clarity. Dolby
Atmos is an optional audio format for Blu-ray Discs and achieves a more three-
dimensional sound eld by introducing a sound eld above the listener.
To enable transfer of this audio format, connect via an HDMI cable and set
audio output on the player to Bitstream output.

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
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 exibility in data bit rates. Dolby Digital Plus is an optional audio
format based on 5.1ch 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
audio output on the player to Bitstream output.

DSur (Dolby Audio - DSur)

This listening mode expands actual channels to more channels for playback to
suit the conguration of the connected speakers by expanding the input signals
from 2 channels or 5.1 channels to 5.1 channels or 7.1 channels respectively. As
well as traditional speaker setups, this supports ceiling-embedded speakers and
playback systems for Dolby Atmos that adopt the Dolby speaker technology.

DTHD (Dolby Audio - TrueHD)

This mode faithfully reproduces the sound design recorded in the Dolby TrueHD
audio format.
The Dolby TrueHD audio format is a “lossless” format expanded based on the
lossless compression technology referred to as MLP, and it faithfully reproduces
the master audio recorded in the studio. Dolby TrueHD is an optional audio
format based on 5.1ch for Blu-ray Discs. It is possible to record a maximum of 7.1
channels with additional channels such as the surround back channel. 7.1ch is
recorded at 96 kHz/24 bit, and 5.1ch is recorded at 192 kHz/24 bit.
To enable transfer of this audio format, connect via an HDMI cable and set
audio output on the player to Bitstream output.
