DIGITAL BYPASS

 

Allows digital sources to bypass decoding for direct digital recording. When ON is selected, the RV-8 passes digital input signals directly to the Zone 2 digital audio output connectors, preserving the original format of the input signal. This would be useful if you want to send a multichannel-encoded signal to a second device for decoding. When OFF is selected and the ZONE2 IN parameter is set to DIGITAL, Dolby Digital and DTS sources will not be passed to the Zone 2 digital audio outputs. When OFF is selected and a PCM source is present, the RV-8 will send the PCM audio to the Zone 2 digital audio output connectors. If a Dolby Digital or DTS source is present and the ZONE2 IN parameter is set to DMIX, a downmix of the source will be sent to the Zone 2 digital audio output connectors.

DIG OUT RATE

 

Controls the sample rate of analog input signals sent to the Zone 2 digital audio output connectors.

When a value is selected, the RV-8 runs the Zone 2 A/D converters at the selected sample rate. It is recommended to set the DIG OUT RATE parameter to the appropriate value when using a recording format that operates on a single sample rate, such as CD-R format (44.1kHz).

Note:

DIG OUT RATE only affects analog input signals. It does not change the sample rate of digital input signals, or downmixed signals.

Prevents recording device feedback loops. When BLOCKED is selected, the RV-8 blocks the Zone 2 audio output connectors to prevent feedback loops. However, the RV-8 still passes video input signals to the Zone 2 video output connectors. When ENABLED is selected, the RV-8 passes audio and video input signals to the Zone 2 audio and video output connectors.
