•Advanced Settings: Selecting this check box reveals several advanced features at the bottom of the S/PDIF tab. Note that your selection of “Consumer” or “Professional” (see above) will determine the advanced options that will be displayed when this box is checked.

•Restore Defaults: This button will restore all of the advanced output settings to their factory default settings.

<OUTPUT FORMAT: CONSUMER – ADVANCED SETTINGS:

The following settings appear when “Consumer” has been selected in the Digital Output Format section and the Advanced Settings box has been checked:

•Data Type: This parameter toggles a bit in the outgoing S/PDIF data stream that indicates whether the signal is “audio” or “non-audio.” In most cases, this parameter should be left in its default “audio” state. One exception to this is if you are sending Dolby Digital or AC-3 encoded signals to a home-theater receiver or other surround decoding device. Dolby Digital and AC-3 are technically considered to be “non-audio” signals and some decoders will ignore a S/PDIF

signal if this bit is not set correctly. Note that most modern DVD player applications automatically set this parameter to its correct setting and you will not have to make any changes to the Data Type setting.

•Emphasis: This parameter lets you indicate if pre-emphasis has been applied to the outgoing digital audio signal. In most cases, the default “Not Indicated” setting will

apply unless the outgoing audio has been encoded with “50/15 µsec” pre- emphasis.

•Copy Mode: These radio buttons control the Serial Copy Management System (SCMS) part of the S/PDIF subcode—a reserved part of the S/PDIF digital stream that is independent of the actual audio data being transmitted. SCMS is used to inhibit the amount of copies that can be made of a source material. Three SCMS modes are available:
