Surround Sound Decoder Digital Inputs and Outputs (continued) 
SIGNAL TYPE
(I/O) 
FUNCTION 
Freeze  I  The auto-detect mode will be suspended for as long as 
the Freeze input is high. This allows the C2N-DAP8RC to 
be put into a specific decoding mode 
Store  I  By default, the C2N-DAP8RC operates in auto-detect 
mode, whereby the decoding mode is automatically 
selected depending on the incoming signal stream and the 
selected source. If the program selects an alternative 
decoding mode for a source, a rising edge of the Store will 
save the new decoding parameters for that type of signal 
stream. 
Next  I  With each rising edge of Next, the DSP will cycle through 
the different decoding modes: PCM, Dolby Digital 2ch, 
Dolby Digital 2ch +Lt/Rt, Dolby Digital 5.1, Dolby Digital 
5.1 EX, DTS 5.1, DTS ES Matrix, DTS ES Discrete. 
ProLogic_Status  O  When high, indicates that Pro Logic decoding is active 
Spdif_Present  O  When high, indicates that a valid SPDIF signal is present 
on the last selected digital source when the C2N-DAP8RC 
is processing an analog signal. 
Left_Active 
through 
LFE_Active 
O  When high, indicates the presence of a signal coming in to 
the decoder on the corresponding channel. (This does not 
necessarily correspond directly to the physical outputs of 
the C2N-DAP8RC.) 
Surr_Active refers to the presence of a surround channel, 
such as with a Pro Logic Encoded source, while 
Back_Active indicates a 6.1 or 7.1 encoded signal that will 
drive one or both of the back surround channels. 
DTS_5.1, 
DTS_Matrix 
DTS_5.1_FB, , 
DTS_Matrix_FB 
I 
O 
Control matrix generation of a rear surround channel (to 
left back and right back speakers) for DTS Digital 5.1 and 
DTS Digital ES Matrix encoded signals. Since the C2N-
DAP8RC contains automatic modes to control this, the 
user interface should use the _fb signals to indicate the 
current es matrix mode. 
DD_5.1, DD_EX 
DD_5.1_FB>, 
DD_EX_FB 
I 
O 
Control matrix generation of a rear surround channel (to 
Sbl/Sbr) for Dolby Digital 5.1 and Dolby Digital 5.1 EX 
encoded signals. Since the C2N-DAP8RC contains 
automatic modes to control this, the user interface should 
use the _fb signals to indicate the current Dolby Digital 
matrix mode.
