The DCT 2000 can deliver Dolby AC-3 audio to a Dolby Digital stereo receiver using the SPDIF RCA connector. Because the SPDIF does not carry audio for analog channels, use both the baseband L/R audio and the SPDIF connectors when connecting the DCT 2000 to a digital receiver.

PCM audio and AC-3 are the operation modes for the SPDIF connector. PCM audio mode is the default setting from the factory. Use the Electronic Program Guide (EPG) to select an alternative operating mode for the DCT 2000. If the EPG does not provide a PCM or AC-3 option, then the SPDIF port will default to PCM audio.

Table 3-1 describes the functionality of the audio ports based on the digital audio mode selected:

Table 3 - 1

Audio port functionality

Digital Audio Mode	PCM Mode	AC - 3 Mode
Left/Right RCA ports	Audio for digital and analog channels	Audio for analog channels only
SPDIF RCA port	PCM audio	Dolby AC-3
	(Audio on digital channels only)	(Audio on digital channels only)

For normal viewing:

1Set the DCT 2000 to PCM audio mode using the Electronic Program Guide.

2Adjust the Dolby Digital receiver input audio settings for the DCT 2000 to baseband L/R inputs (refer to stereo receiver instructions for more information). This prevents audio loss while channel surfing through analog channels.

3When a digital program has been selected for viewing, set the DCT 2000 to AC-3 mode using the EPG. Set the stereo receiver to digital audio input to experience AC-3 audio.

Many Dolby Digital receivers are designed with A/V output ports that feed external devices such as a VCR. The AV output content is based on the selected input device. If the DCT 2000 is selected as the input device for VCR recording, an alternate device cannot simultaneously use the Dolby Digital receiver, or the VCR will then record the secondary device. (Reference the Dolby Digital receiver installation manual for information on selecting and configuring A/V interfaces on the receiver).
