2) Audio Outputs

The DP-H1 supports 5.1ch audio in an analog format. It has Dolby Digital stereo decoder so that it can decode and output the Dolby sound through the RCA connectors. It also supports digital outputs with optical and coaxial ports.

zAudio Format: If you only have a stereo speaker system, you have to set the audio format as 2ch. If you connect a 5.1ch speaker system to the DP-H1, choose 5.1ch for the best performance. In order to decode an audio source with an external audio decoder system, set the audio format as pass-through.

zS/PDIF Output: Enables the digital audio output through the coaxial and optical ports.

NOTE

zIf you set the audio format as 2ch, the DP-H1 mixes down 5.1ch audio source to 2ch audio.

zIf the content of a channel broadcasted has 2ch audio source, the DP- H1 can not expand the 2ch audio source to 5.1ch audio format. Therefore, you can only hear sound from the front speakers even though you have connected a 5.1ch speaker system and set the DP- H1 as 5.1ch audio.

zUnless you set the audio format as 2ch when you connect stereo speakers to DP-H1, you can not hear sound of 5.1ch source properly.

zBecause the DP-H1 support Dolby Digital stereo decoding, it mixes down the 5.1ch audio source in the Dolby Digital format to 2ch audio even though you set the audio format as 5.1ch.
