HD621 HDMI Audio Processor User Guide
8
Property Description
Linear PCM Determines the number of output
channels. The options are 8 Ch,
6 Ch
, and 2 Ch. This will generally be
determined by the capabilities of your
system. Note that the HD621 advertises
how many channels it wants to receive.
For example, in the case that 6 are
chosen here and 8 are available from the
source, then the HD621 will instruct the
player to output the 6-channel version.
You only need to make physical
connections between the HD621 and
the system that correspond to the
number of channels selected here. So,
for example, if you have a 2-channel
system and limit the PCM output here to
2-channel, you only need to connect the
“1/2” SmartLink output from the HD621
to the system.
Dolby Digital 5.1 Ch
AAC
DTS 5.1 Ch
Inform the source about the decoding
capability of the products fed by the
HD621.
Set all three to Yes for Meridian
Surround Controllers such as the G61R
and G68.
Set AAC to No for the 861.
Set all three to No if you are driving
Meridian DSP Loudspeakers direct from
the HD621.
Property Description
Output Rate Determines the capability of the product
fed by the HD621 and whether the unit
outputs high sample rates (88.2kHz or
96kHz) or standard rates (44.1kHz or
48kHz).
If set to Yes the unit will always output
high sample rates, by upsampling
standard sample rates or downsampling
super-high sample rates (176.4kHz or
192kHz).
If set to No all outputs are at standard
rates, with higher-rate sources
downsampled accordingly. Use this
option for early DSP loudspeakers,
D600s, and the 561.
MHR Determines whether MHR is active
or not. Setting this to Yes allows the
HD621 to protect copyrighted audio or
to enhance the quality of others.
