ANALOG and DIGITAL AUDIO
OUTPUTS.

DTS sources are compatible
with the Zone 2 digital audio
output when the DIG BYPASS

ANLG (Analog)
• The ANALOG IN connector
specified in the INPUT SETUP
menu is sent to the ZONE 2
ANALOG and DIGITAL AUDIO
OUTPUTS.

input
DMIX (Downmix)
• Set the ZONE2 IN parameter to DMIX to send a downmixed
version of Main Zone audio to the Zone 2 audio output
connectors. Downmixes can be generated for Dolby Digital,
DTS(-ES) and 5.1a sources.
• To generate a downmix, the same input must be selected in
the Main Zone and Zone 2. Otherwise, the Zone 2 audio
output connectors will mute.
• Main Zone listening mode activation affects the Zone 2 audio
output connectors. For instance, when the MONO listening
mode is activated in the Main Zone, the Zone 2 audio output
connectors will generate mono output signals.
• It is recommended that you set the ZONE2 IN parameter to
DMIX when recording from a DVD player without built-in
Dolby Digital or DTS-ES decoding to a VCR or PVR (e.g. Tivo
or Replay TV ).
®
• A 2-channel downmixed version of Main Zone audio is sent to
the ZONE 2 ANALOG and DIGITAL 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 ANALOG and
DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUTS will mute. Downmixes cannot be
generated when the 5.1a BYPASS listening mode is selected in
the Main Zone.
