For DD+ and TrueHD tracks the audio will be decoded in the player and output via the 6 channel analog out. You will not be able to output 6.1 and 7.1 tracks as 7 or 8 discrete channels. The player will still extract the 6 channels (5.1) and output that portion of the track. No HD DVD player has a decoder for DTS-HD & DTS-HD MA tracks. The DTS-HD format has a DTS “core” which is 5.1 DTS @ 1.5Mbps. The player will extract the “core, decode, and output the “core” via the 6 channel output. You will not hear the higher quality DTS-HD or lossless DTS-HD MA track.
