  • Page 106: Appendix E - Mrd 6000 Audio Explanation

    Appendix E – MRD 6000 Audio Explanation Downmix Audio Setup There are two primary modes of audio down mix operation for the MRD 6000 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 107 MRD 6000 – 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.
