DP564 Multichannel Audio Decoder Front-Panel Controls

3-4

Decode

Use the Decode buttons to select a specific surround-decoding mode.

Note: Dolby Digital decoding is applied whenever a Dolby Digital signal is

received. The Decode buttons offer additional processing options.

EX activates Dolby Digital Surround EX™ decoding. It is available only when

decoding Dolby Digital bitstreams with stereo surround channels. You must also have

back surround (Bsl, Bsr) speakers selected in the Monitor Configuration

menu. Pro Logic and Pro Logic II activate those decoding modes, respectively. The

Pro Logic modes are available only if the input is PCM, a Dolby Digital signal in

audio coding mode 2/0, or any other Dolby Digital signal downmixed to Lt/Rt.

Note: To quickly access the display screen to adjust Pro Logic II settings, hold down

the Pro Logic II button for two seconds.

Listening

Use the Listening buttons to simulate different consumer multichannel speaker

systems. Phantom mixes the Center channel signal to the Left and Right channel

outputs to emulate a speaker system with no center channel. 3 Stereo mixes the Ls

and Rs channel signals to the front-channel outputs to emulate speaker systems with

no surround speakers. (Ls routes to L, and Rs routes to R.) Full maps all channel

signals directly to the associated outputs. Only one of these modes is active at a time.

Compression

The Compression buttons can apply the dynamic range control profiles available to

consumers when decoding Dolby Digital audio. Only one of these modes is active at

a time; to disable compression, press the active button.

RF applies the strongest profile available, equivalent to an RF connection to a TV set

or small PC speakers. Line applies what appears on some consumer decoders as

“light” compression; this is usually the default setting in DVD players and set-top

boxes. Custom allows scaling of the Line profile. The factory setting for Custom is 0

percent. At that setting, selecting Custom turns off dynamic range compression. To

access the display screen to adjust the percentage setting for custom scaling, hold

down Custom for two seconds.

Note: When downmixing, the DP564 automatically applies compression at peak

moments to prevent potential signal overload from combining multiple

channels, regardless of whether a compression mode is selected.
