M-AUDIO Delta 410 - Manual (Page 25)

"Advanced" are both selected, the group "Professional Format Advanced
Settings" will appear. These groups are described below:
CONSUMER FORMAT ADVANCED SETTINGS (Copy Mode): Copy
protection, also known as Serial Copy Management System (SCMS), is written
into the S/PDIF subcode, a reserved part of the S/PDIF digital stream that is
independent of the actual audio data being transmitted. It can be used to inhibit
the amount of copies that can be made, or allow for unlimited copying. Three
SCMS modes are available. "Original (Copy Permitted)" indicates that the
source material may be copied by a receiving device. "1st Generation" indicates
that the source material is a first generation copy. Most devices that are capable
of recording will reject material with this SCMS mode set. The final option is
"No SCMS" which may be used to override the other two modes and allow a
recording device to successfully record the audio data. Different manufacturers’
products may interpret these codes differently and require you to set these bits by
"trial-and-error" until proper operation is achieved.
CONSUMER FORMAT ADVANCED SETTINGS (Emphasis): This status bit is
used to indicate if pre-emphasis has been applied to the outgoing digital audio signal.
The default is "None" and rarely will any user want to set the value to "50/15uSec"
unless the transmitted audio has been encoded with 50/15uSec pre-emphasis.
PROFESSIONAL FORMAT ADVANCED SETTINGS (Data Type): The user
may assign the outgoing data as audio or non-audio data. Many devices ignore
this setting. The obvious default is "audio," however, choosing “non-audio” is
appropriate if you wish to send an AC3 signal (Dolby Digital 5.1 surround
sound) out of the S/PDIF output. Some software DVD players are capable of this,
as well as AC3 or Dolby Digital encoding software.
PROFESSIONAL FORMAT ADVANCED SETTINGS (Emphasis): The user
may choose to indicate or not indicate if pre-emphasis has been applied to the
outgoing digital audio signal. The default is "None" and rarely will any user want
to set the value to "CCITT" or "50/15uSec" unless the transmitted audio has been
encoded with one of those types of pre-emphasis.
