Setting your digital audio options
Many programs and events, especially those broadcast with high-definition video, also feature
multiple audio channels to enhance the enjoyment through your home theater. The following options
on your DVR+ can be used with other compatible equipment:
• HDMI can be set to Stereo only if you are not connecting the HDMI output of your DVR+ to
a device capable of multi-channel surround sound. The default setting for this output is Auto
Stereo/Surround, which will output the best audio option present in the broadcast.
• Optical Digital Audio can be set to Stereo only if you are not connecting the OPTICAL output of
your DVR+ to a device capable of surround sound. The default setting for this output is Multi-
channel, which is supported by most equipment which will accept optical digital audio input(s).
• Midnight Mode can be set to On to help you keep from disturbing others in your home by
compressing the dynamic range (that is, how big a difference there is between the loudest and
quietest sounds) of the digital audio output signal. The default setting for this mode is Off.
