4.2.5 Audio mode
Basically, there are two audio sources. You can enjoy only one
source or both of them in either stereo or mono. Set the
Sound
Mode
option as you desire.
Apart from this setting, you can change the sound mode with
the
button. See §
5.2.4
for a detailed description.
The digital receiver can output two types of digital audio sig-
nals via the S/PDIF output. One is an encoded signal, and the
other is a decoded signal. If you have the digital receiver linked
to your audio-video receiver via the S/PDIF output, you have
to set the
Dolby Digital (Plus)
option to
Off
, which means that
the digital receiver will output encoded Dolby Digital audio
without decoding so that your audio-video receiver can de-
code it. Otherwise, set it to
On
, then the digital receiver will
output decoded Dolby Digital audio, scaling it down to two
channels.
The Dolby Digital Plus is a digital audio coding technology
extended from the original Dolby Digital system. It delivers
up to 7.1 channels of surround sound at higher data rates.
NOTE
Only if the service you are currently watching provides
a Dolby Digital audio track, you can enjoy Dolby Digital
sound.
If you feel that the audio from the S/PDIF output does not
synchronise with video, you can straighten it by adjusting the
value of the
S/PDIF Audio Delay
option.
Some programmes provide extra special audio track, which
you can activate by setting the
Audio Description
option to
On
.
