Does the OPDV971H support HDCD?
The OPDV971H fully supports HDCD. When a HDCD track or HDCD disc is played, the on screen display (OSD) will show “HDCD” briefly. During the entire track, the front panel display will show the “HDCD” icon. When a standard CD track is played, the OSD will show “CD” briefly and the front panel display will show the “CD” icon. HDCD decoding is done by the OPDV971H if analog audio output is used. When digital audio output is in use, it is the responsibility of the AV receiver to decode the HDCD digital stream.
