Specifications

Digital
The digital outputs mirror the analog outputs. Whatever comes out the analog comes out on all
the digital ports. So, two mono programs coming out Port 1-L and Port 1-R will come out the
AES-EBU, SPDIF, and OPTICAL as two programs, one on the left and one on the right. Also,
you cannot send any audio out the digital without it going out the analog ports. Port 1 and Port 2
can be different programming, but the audio coming out the analog outputs of Port 1 also will
come out the digital outputs (AES-EBU, SPDIF, and OPTICAL) of Port 1. The same is true for
Port 2.
Streaming
The AMR-100 can stream audio out the Ethernet port, but, like the digital outputs, they must
have an associated analog output. The Ethernet stream is always in stereo, which means you can
play a program out Port 1-L and stream that same program out the Ethernet port. The analog
output on Port 1-L will be mono and mix the stereo to a mono signal, but the output of the
Ethernet will be in stereo.
The streaming audio cannot be decoded by Windows Media Player®. However, a program called
VideoLAN® (http://www.videolan.org) can be used to decode the Ethernet stream.
Playback after a power loss
Audio will resume after a power loss to the receiver. The audio will NOT resume from where it
was at the time of the power loss, but rather where it would be if the power had not been lost.
The following is an example of what you would hear.
1. A program was started at 9:00:00
2. At 9:09:45 power was lost to the receiver and audio terminated
3. Power was restored at 9:11:20
4. The AMR-100, after rebooting, will resume audio at approximately 9:11:50
5. The audio will play what was supposed to be playing at 9:11:50 had the power not been
lost
Thus, the audio playing after power is restored, would be 11:50 into the program and the
program will end at its scheduled time. A 25-minute program will end at 11:25.

NOTE:
All the outputs for each port (analog and digital) are always the same. Whatever
comes out of Port 1 analog (stereo or mono) comes out the digital ports (AES-
EBU, SPDIF and OPTICAL for Port 1. You CANNOT have one thing come out of
the digital ports for Port 1 and something else come out of the analog for Port 1.
