Buffalo Technology P4LWAG manual Digital Audio / Surround Sound, Hdtv / 720p Support

Digital Audio / Surround Sound:

The LinkTheater supports surround sound (AC3, Dolby Digital, etc.) by utilizing the TOSLINK/Optical audio connector on the back of the LinkTheater. The LinkTheater does not ship with a TOSLINK cable, but they are readily available from almost any electronic’s store.

The LinkTheater can natively pass AC3 and other digital formats to an audio receiver to decode. For maximum quality and compatibility, it only passes digital audio tracks through to the receiver and relies on the receiver to decode. When you’re using the regular, composite stereo connectors, the LinkTheater decodes any digital sound track to analog stereo.

HDTV / 720p Support:

The LinkTheater supports HD resolutions at 720p. Natively it will play Mpeg-4 and WMV 9 HD clips that are encoded up to 2.5 Mbps.

For all other non-HD content, the LinkTheater will upconvert lower resolution content to 720p for improved visual quality.

To change your display mode, please see the ‘Display Settings’ area of this user’s guide.

Software and Updates:

For best results with the LinkTheater, the PCs that will be streaming media should be kept up to date. Visit www.windowsupdate.com for updates to Microsoft Windows.

If this is more recent than the version on your Viiv PC, you should install it.
