whether to output the secondary and interactive audio
accompanied by the primary audio or only the primary

Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD, DTS,
or DTS-HD
output changes between multi LPCM and bitstream.

“HD Audio Output”:
Only the primary audio will be output. Set this mode in
order to output Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby
TrueHD, DTS or DTS-HD audio of BD through HDMI
connection.
“Mix Audio Output”:
If
it is available, BD-video’s secondary and interactive
