Down-mixing capability The Millennium 2.4.6 has the ability to down mix the surround, center, and/or sub audio into the main left and right channels, accommodating systems with two to six channels. However, it is recommended that to fully appreciate DTS 20 bit 5.1 channel digital surround programs, no down mixing options be engaged, by leaving switches 1-2-3 in their factory preset (up) position. - Page 7 MANUAL MODE Stand Alone Installation with Two Sources In this configuration the Millennium 2.4.6 is being used as both a DTS decoder and a preamp. This is par ticularly useful in dedicated DTS systems or where there are only two digital source devices. It does,...
- Page 8 AUTO MODE Installation with Multi-channel Receiver and Two Sources In this configuration the Millennium 2.4.6 is installed within an existing sound system that uses a multi-channel A/V Receiver. The illustration shows two digital source devices hooked up to the 2.4.6, one via a coaxial input, the other via an optical input. This installation allows you to play non-DTS encoded material, directly from the Receiver.
- Page 9 AUTO MODE Installation with Multi-channel Preamp and Two Sources In this configuration the Millennium 2.4.6 is installed within an existing sound system that uses a multi-channel A/V Preamp and separate amplifiers. The illustration shows two digital source devices hooked up to the 2.4.6, one via a coaxial input, the other via an optical input.
- Page 10 AUTO MODE Installation with Dedicated D-to-A Converter In this configuration the Millennium 2.4.6 is installed within an existing sound system that uses a multi-channel A/V Preamp that routes all digital devices through a separate D-to-A Conver ter (DAC).It is essentially the same hook-up as that shown for installation with a Preamp on the previous page, except the Millennium 2.4.6 Digital...
- Page 11 MANUAL MODE Stand Alone Installation with “5.1 Ready” Receiver or Preamp In this configuration, the Millennium 2.4.6 is being installed into an existing system with either a Receiver or Preamp that is "5.1 Ready". A "5.1 Ready" Receiver or Preamp will provide a special DB-25 connector, which combines all outputs through one cable.
- Page 12 MANUAL MODE Add-on Installation with “5.1 Ready” Receiver or Preamp In this configuration, the Millennium 2.4.6 is being installed into an existing system with either a Receiver or Preamp that is "5.1 Ready". In addition, this system contains a stand-alone Dolby Digital Processor. The outputs of the Dolby Digtial Processor are fed into the 2.4.6, which them sends the signal back...

Page 13: Down Mix Configurations
It is recommended, however, that the down mix configuration switches remain in their factory default (up) position when employing the Millennium 2.4.6 in any 5.1 loudspeaker application. If you are not using a Center channel loudspeaker, then you may try placing switch #2 in the down position, which blends the center channel information into the Left and Right Front channels. -
Page 14: Setting Levels
BALANCING TIP: For the most accurate results use a sound pressure level (SPL) meter. They are readily available at your local Radio Shack®. While you can balance the Millennium 2.4.6 at any SPL, choose a level such as 75dB and adjust all of the channels for the same reading. This insures a good balance within a dB or two at the most. - Page 15 All line-level outputs from your Receiver or Preamp must be connected to at least the main input jacks of the Millennium 2.4.6, and must come from a source with DTS data. In other words, the raw DTS digital datastream must be present at the mains input (Left Front and Right Front) to the Millennium 2.4.6 in order to use this automatic mode.

The simplest way to reduce the volume of the DTS datastream sound presented to the input of the Millennium 2.4.6. is to turn down the volume of the Receiver or Preamp, which is driving the Millennium 2.4.6. You can then compensate for this reduction by turning up the MASTER level on the front of the Millennium 2.4.6 clockwise until the volume is satisfactory. -
