STATUS MENU PARAMETER DESCRIPTIONS
2.0 ENCODING MATRIX, NONE
Indicates whether or not a matrix-encoded source is detected.
When the parameter setting is MATRIX, a matrix-encoded source is
detected. When the parameter setting is NONE, a matrix-encoded
source is not detected. The RV-8 cannot automatically detect matrix
encoding in non-flagged input sources.
BIT RATE 32 to 640 kbps or 754 to 1509.7kbps
Indicates the rate at which the input signal is encoded. A higher bit
rate indicates that less compression was used during the encoding
process. Possible settings for Dolby Digital sources range from 32 to
640 kbps. Possible settings for DTS(-ES) sources range from 754 to
1509.7 kbps.
CENTER MIX LVL –3.0dB, –4.5dB, –6.0dB
Indicates the relative level of the center channel that was used
during the mixing process.
CHANNELS 3/3.1, 3/2.1, 3/2, 3/1, 2/2, 2/1, 2/0, 1/0
Indicates the number of channels present in the input source. The
first digit indicates the number of front channels present. The digit
after the slash indicates the number of surround channels present.
The digit after the decimal point indicates the presence of LFE (low-
frequency effects) information. For instance, if the parameter setting
is 3/2.1, an input source with three front channels, two surround
channels and LFE information is present. LFE information is sent to
the Main Zone audio output connector labeled Sub.
Possible settings for Dolby Digital input sources include 3/2.1, 3/2,
3/1, 2/2, 2/1, 2/0 and 1/0. Possible settings for DTS(-ES) input
sources include 3/3.1 and 3/2.1.
DIALOG OFFSET –27 to +4dB
Indicates the dialog normalization value applied to the input signal.
Dolby Digital input sources reproduce dialog at 27 decibels below full-
scale (–27dBFS). When the dialog normalization value of the incoming
signal is higher or lower, the DIALOG OFFSET parameter indicates the
amount of adjustment the RV-8 makes to normalize dialog to –27dBFS.
ES ENCODING DISCRETE, MATRIX, OFF
Indicates whether or not a DTS-ES-encoded source is detected.
When the parameter setting is DISCRETE, a discrete 6.1-channel
DTS-ES source is detected. When the parameter setting is MATRIX,
a 5.1-channel DTS-ES source with a surround-encoded back
channel is detected. When the parameter setting is NONE, a
standard DTS source with no DTS-ES encoding is detected.
EX ENCODING MATRIX, NONE
Indicates whether or not a Dolby Digital Surround EX-encoded source
is detected. When the parameter setting is MATRIX, a 5.1-channel
Dolby Digital source recorded with Dolby Digital Surround EX is
detected. When the parameter setting is NONE, a standard 5.1-
channel Dolby Digital source recorded without Dolby Digital Surround
EX encoding is detected. The RV-8 cannot automatically detect Dolby
Digital Surround EX encoding in non-flagged input sources.
