5.1-Channel Production Guidelines Getting Started
2-4
Example 1: Using a properly calibrated 5.1-channel monitoring system
(incorporating appropriate bass management), set the DP562 to Dolby Digital/Full.
In this configuration, a 5.1-channel bitstream will reproduce all channels the way a
consumer with a Dolby Digital 5.1-channel system will hear them. Pressing any of
the other Listening Modes causes the DP562 to redirect audio to the outputs of the
selected speaker configuration.
Example 2: Select 3 Stereo instead of Full in the Listening Mode section and the
Surround channel information is redirected to the Left and Right speakers to simulate
a monitoring system with no Surround speakers.
Example 3: Select Phantom Center and the Center channel information is
appropriately attenuated and redirected to the Left and Right speakers to simulate a
multichannel monitoring system with no Center speaker.
Technical Note: Summing multiple channels of audio, which occurs while
downmixing, has the potential for overloading the decoder outputs. Please refer to
the DP562 operation manual for more information.
2.3 Dynamic Range Control (DRC)
Dolby Digital incorporates both dynamic range compression and protection against
the decoder overload, which can result from downmixing. Some consumer products
