RV-8

Setup

2-CH

SETUP INPUTS DVD1 2-CH

Opens the 2-CH MODE menu, which is used to select a preferred listening mode for 2-channel input sources. The RV-8 activates the selected listening mode whenever a 2-channel source is present.

When the 2-CH parameter is set to USE LAST:

The RV-8 activates the listening mode that was activated the last time a 2-channel source was present

The remote control 2 CH button toggles between the 2-CHANNEL listening mode and the previous listening mode, and ignores the USE LAST setting. Instead, it uses the listening mode (for example, L7 FILM) that was activated before the 2-CHANNEL listening mode.

The RV-8 activates a DTS NEO:6 listening mode if a DTS NEO:6 listening mode was activated the last time a 2-channel source was present, and a 44.1kHz or 48kHz PCM digital source is present. Since the DTS NEO:6 listening modes are dynamic, they cannot be selected as the preferred listening mode for 2-channel sources.

DOLBY D

SETUP INPUTS DVD1 D

Opens the DOLBY DIGITAL MODE menu, which is used to select a preferred listening mode for Dolby Digital input sources. The RV-8 activates the selected listening mode whenever a new input is selected or a new Dolby Digital source is present.

When the DOLBY D parameter is set to USE LAST:

The RV-8 activates the listening mode that was activated the last time a Dolby Digital source was present

The RV-8 activates the Dolby PLIIx MOV (Movie) listening mode if this listening mode was activated the last time a Dolby Digital source was present. Since Dolby PLIIx MOV is a dynamic listening mode, it cannot be selected as the preferred listening mode for Dolby Digital sources.
