Important Notes Regarding the HDMI Interface on the Set-top
The HDMI interface automatically confi gures the audio output for a format supported by the television.
Because not all TVs support the Dolby Digital input, the HDMI interface may automatically select a
2-channel stereo audio confi guration instead of Dolby Digital, which it carries over to the other digital
audio outputs of the set-top. This prevents your home theater system or Dolby Digital decoder from
providing the full Dolby Digital surround-sound effect.
You can override this confi guration by completing the following steps.
1. Press SETTINGS twice on the remote control to open the General Settings menu.
2. Press MOVE UP or MOVE DOWN to select the option Audio: Digital Out.
3. Press MOVE RIGHT to select Dolby Digital. This setting will send Dolby Digital audio to the
HDMI, DIGITAL AUDIO OUT, and OPTICAL AUDIO OUT connectors on the set-top.
Notes:
•
If the TV is not Dolby Digital capable, it may not produce audio through its speakers when the
Audio: Digital Out setting on the set-top is set to Dolby Digital. You can either switch the Audio:
Digital Out setting back to HDMI when you are not using the home theater or Dolby Digital
decoder, or you can connect the baseband audio outputs (OUT 1 Audio Left and Right) to the TV.
•
Digital content is encrypted with High-Bandwidth Content Protection (HDCP) on the DVI/HDMI
port. This set-top is not compatible with devices that do not support HDCP. You must use
either the PrPbY or 1394 connection to connect the set-top to these devices.
