B.2.2

MPEG Audio

 

The RX8000 Receiver supports decoding of MPEG audio as follows:

 

Compression layers: MPEG-1 layers I and II

 

Sampling rate: 48 kHz

 

Maximum compressed data rate: 384 kbps (layer II)

B.2.3 Dolby Digital AC-3 Audio

The RX8000 Receiver is able to decode and output the primary stereo pair of a Dolby Digital AC-3 encoded audio stream. When there is data encoded on the audio surround channels, the Decoder applies downmixing, so that either a surround encoded stereo pair (LtRt downmix) or a conventional stereo pair (LoRo downmix) is available at the output.

The RX8000 Receiver is not able to decode and output all 5.1 channels individually as separate channels:

Sampling rate: 48 kHz

Maximum compressed data rate: 640 kbps

Note: Support for Dolby Digital decoding requires approval and licensing from Dolby.
