    Audio Decoding and Output Stage B.1.2.1. General The RX8000 Integrated Receiver/Decoder is capable of simultaneously decoding at least two PES streams of audio from the Transport Stream. Each of the decoders are identical in operation but act independently of the other.
  • Page 461 B.1.2.3. Dolby Digital AC-3 Audio The RX8000 Integrated Receiver/Decoder is able to decode and output the primary stereo pair of a Dolby Digital AC-3 encoded audio stream. When there is data encoded on the audio surround channels, the Decoder applies downmixing, so that either a surround encoded stereo pair (LtRt downmix) or a conventional stereo pair (LoRo downmix) is available at the output.
  • Page 462 +/- 2 degrees (40 Hz – 15 kHz) B.1.2.8. Audio Routing The RX8000 Integrated Receiver/Decoder supports the following routing of audio signals: • STEREO (Channel 1 left, Channel 2 right). • MIXED TO BOTH (Channel 1 and 2 on left and right).
