    Appendix E – MRD 5800 Audio Explanation Downmix Audio Setup There are two primary modes of audio down mix operation for the MRD 5800 receiver/decoders. These settings only affect the signal if the digital output is set to PCM. It will also affect those embedded audio channels that are set to a PCM down mix.
  • Page 110 MRD 5800 – User Manual Audio Output Settings The digital audio services may be set to PCM (AES) or Pass-through (AES data) as an output. This applies to all available sources. The PCM setting will decode and automatically down mix an AC-3 or Dolby Digital Plus stream to two channels of AES audio.

    MRD 5800 – User Manual For audio services that indicate the specific channels (Lf, Rf, C, Ls, Rs, LFE) the user can select the audio channels to assign to a output using the named discrete options. If the specific channels are not identified (LPCM Audio for example) than the user can use the multi-channel audio service to select the channel pair of the audio service to output.
