3.9ADC / AUDIO OUTPUTIn the ADC / Audio Output menu you can re-configure the Surround and Rear channels, set analog to digital conversion parameters for the digital Record output, and configure the balanced analog outputs.
9. ADC / AUDIO OUTPUT
a. 6-Ch REVERSE S/R: No
b. COPY SUR TO REAR: No
c. 6-ch Anlg-DSP: 96 kHz d. 2-ch Anlg-DSP:44.1kHz e. MAIN>REC: 24Bit
f. DIGITAL2: DIGITAL 1
g. BAL OUT: Ctr2/Sub2
Reverse Surrounds/Rears:If you’re using a 7.1 speaker system and want to use the Rear speakers instead of the Surrounds when the 6-Ch input is selected, set REVERSE SUR/REAR to ‘Yes’ and re-connect the AVM 50 as follows: Surround outputs on the AVM 50 to the Rear inputs on your amplifier, and the Rear AVM 50 outputs to the Surround amplifier inputs. The 6-Ch Surround inputs will now play through your Rear speakers. The AVM 50 flips the SUR/REAR channels back to normal whenever a mode with 6.1 or 7.1 output is turned on for the 6-Ch input or when any other input is selected. If you are not getting sound from Surround or Rear speakers, check that this is set up correctly before calling tech support.
Copy Surrounds to Rears:When playing material or using a Mode that has Surround channel information but no Rear information, setting this to ‘Yes’ plays the Surround channel out of both sets of speakers.
Sampling Frequency (Fs):When a Source that is set to Anlg-DSP is copied from MAIN to RECORD, the analog signal is converted to digital using the AVM 50’s high-end A/D converters, and sent to DIGITAL1. This is useful for recording analog music on a CD burner or computer with S/PDIF input on the sound card. You can select from 44.1, 48, 88.2, or 96 kHz sampling rates. Recording level is set by the input level in menu 8.
This is also the signal processing rate for MAIN. Neo:6 does not function when ‘2-Ch Anlg-DSP Fs’ is set to 88.2 kHz or 96 kHz, therefore leave this set to 44.1 or 48 kHz unless a recording is being made, and then use 48, 88.2, or 96 kHz only if the equipment connected to DIGITAL1 and DIGITAL2 is capable of accepting those sampling rates – audio CD burners can not.
For the 6-Ch input, a separate setting is used so that bass management, time alignment, Mode, Bass/Treble, Lip-Sync Delay, and THX can be performed at the same high resolution that DVD-Audio and SACD provide. When 6-Ch is copied from MAIN to RECORD, the DIGITAL1 output is a 2-channel downmix.
Bit Rate of DIGITAL1 when MAIN is copied to REC:
Choose from 16 or 24 bit output, to match the recorder. At 16 bits, dither is added to improve low level signals.
Output of DIGITAL2:Set it to have the same output as DIGITAL1, or a fixed output from any Source set to Digital (DVD1, SAT1, etc.). DIGITAL1 and DIGITAL2 transmit data from digital sources in the same format it comes in – if it’s Dolby Digital or DTS encoded, it stays that way and can be linked to other digital equipment.
Balanced Output:If the Balanced CENTER2 and SUB2 outputs are not in use for a second Center channel or Subwoofer in MAIN, they can be used as Balanced ZONE2 L/R outputs.
