Analog stereo inputs require a choice about how the signal is routed through
the processor. One option is the ANALOG BYPASS mode. In this mode, the
stereo signal is routed directly to the volume control and the outputs. This
mode is pure 2-channel stereo, bypassing all of the digital circuitry. None
of the bass management features, speaker level settings, EQ settings, or
delay settings is active. There is no subwoofer output. A full-range signal is
sent directly to the front left and right speakers.
Alternatively, a DSP mode can be enabled, this converts the analog
inputs to digital signals, passing them through the digital processors in the
RAP-1580MKII. This allows all of the features to be active including bass
management settings, crossovers, subwoofer outputs, EQ settings, etc. There
are several DSP modes available, including: Stereo, Dolby 3-Stereo, 5-CH
Stereo, 7-CH Stereo, 9CH and 11CH Stereo, Dolby ATMOS Surround and
Dolby Neural:X modes.
To change the DSP mode press the SUR+ button on the remote control or
front panel control to toggle through the available surround options.
NOTE: Not all surround modes are available for all surround source
formats. The input source signal will determine the available surround
options that can be selected.
