Dolby Digital

Nearly all DVDs have a Dolby Digital soundtrack
(and optionally others as well). If your audio
processor accepts Dolby Digital signals, set this
option to “Dolby Digital”. The audio processor will
decode the Dolby Digital signal to recreate the
soundtrack.

If your audio processor does not accept Dolby
Digital signals, set this option to

“Dolby Digital > PCM”. The DX-7 will then

decode the Dolby Digital soundtrack and convert
the audio signal to two-channel PCM.

This setting only affects the “Compressed + PCM”
output. The “PCM Only” output will always
convert a Dolby Digital soundtrack to
two-channel PCM.

DTS

A few DVDs have a soundtrack using technology
from DTS in addition to the Dolby Digital
soundtrack. When present, the DTS soundtrack will
usually offer somewhat improved sound quality
compared to the Dolby Digital soundtrack.

If your audio processor accepts a DTS signal, set the
DTS option to “DTS”. Otherwise set the DTS
option to “Off”. The Ayre DX-7 will not convert a
DTS soundtrack to PCM. If your audio processor
does not accept a DTS signal, instead select the

“Dolby Digital” soundtrack.
