Voiceover Mode

Selects Mono or Stereo for Voiceover PCM input. Mono adds PCM Input Channels 1 and 2 and attenuates 6 dB.

Voiceover Atten

Applies 0 to -31 dB attenuation to the main Dolby E program. At 0 dB attenuation, overload can occur if the main Dolby E program and Voiceover audio both reach 0 dBFS.

Delay SRC

The Delay Sample Rate Converter setting is only relevant if the Output Routing mode is Delay Out.

Figure 4-6Headphone Prog menu

The front panel of the DP572 Dolby E decoder includes a stereo headphone output from a ¼-inch female connector. This menu selects the headphone signal source from the four pairs of rear-panel channel outputs: 1/2, 3/4, 5/6, 7/8, and PCM Delay. The selectable pairs depend on the active Program Config. For example, channel pair 7/8 can not be monitored in a format with only six channels. Change the headphone volume by pressing Shift + Enter (the headphone icon is below the Enter key) and using the arrow keys.

Program 1–N

Selects the Program within the Program Config to monitor through the headphone output. The Headphone Map menu (see below) contains the allowable channel-to-headphone mappings for that Program.
