information.
• Some high definition audio bitstream contents may not include 
the discrete surround back left and right channel signals but are 
encoded at the bitrate of 192 kHz.
• Even if you make settings to output bitstreams directly, some 
players convert the Dolby TrueHD or Dolby Digital Plus 
bitstreams to the Dolby Digital bitstreams, while converting the 
DTS-HD Master Audio or DTS-HD High Resolution Audio 
bitstreams to the DTS bitstreams.
