The DVD1 INPUT SETUP menu is used here as an example,
and will continue to be used as an example throughout this
document. The parameters on the left side of the on-screen
display are identical regardless of which input is selected. The
values on the right side are adjustable.
Likewise, whenever "DVD1" appears in a menu path, any
other input may be substituted.
When set to DIGITAL . . .
• The DIGITAL IN connector specified in the INPUT SETUP menu
is sent to the ZONE 2 AUDIO OUTPUTS.
• Only PCM digital input sources are compatible with the ZONE
2 AUDIO OUTPUTS.
• Audio will not be available in Zone 2 when a Dolby Digital,
dts(-ES), or unknown digital input source is present.
When set to DMIX . . .
• A 2-channel downmixed version of Main Zone audio is sent to
the ZONE 2 AUDIO OUTPUTS. Downmixes can be generated
for Dolby Digital, dts(-ES), and 5.1 analog input sources. To
generate a downmix, the input that is selected in Zone 2 must
also be selected in the Main Zone (e.g. DVD1). Otherwise, the
ZONE 2 AUDIO OUTPUTS will mute. Downmixes cannot be
generated when the 5.1a BYPASS listening mode is selected in
the Main Zone.

5.1a FILM
for the LD, TV, SAT, PVR, GAME, and TAPE
inputs. If the default setting has not been
DIGITAL
changed, the ZONE2 IN parameter will
automatically be set to DMIX for these
inputs when the new software is installed.

For Dolby Digital input sources, it is recommended to
set the ZONE2 IN parameter to analog. For dts(-ES)
input sources, it is recommended to set the ZONE2 IN
parameter to DMIX. When set to DIGITAL, the unit
recognizes dts-encoded CDs as audio signals (not
data signals) and outputs loud digital noise from the
ZONE 2 AUDIO OUTPUTS .
