In all cases, the DV30 will decode the soundtrack and output it as 2. 1 (stereo plus sub). Because it is a stereo unit, it cannot decode to 5. 1, 6. 1 or 7. 1 outputs. However, the machine is able to send a raw bitstream version of any soundtrack via its digital outputs for decoding by an external AV receiver (such as Cambridge Audio's 640R). This allows the decoding of the many surround-sound formats available in 5. 1, 6. 1 or 7. 1 and beyond. A brief guide to common surround-sound formats you may encounter follows: ENGLISH Dolby Digital EX Also known as DD (3/3) or DD 6. 1, this is an enhanced form of Dolby Digital. In addition to the discretely encoded 5. 1 channels, DD EX provides an extra sixth channel (Surround Back, giving 6. 1 or 7. 1 with mono rear surrounds) matrix encoded into the rear surrounds. Decoding Dolby Digital EX requires a Dolby Digital EX-encoded DVD disc and a digital connection from the DV30 to a suitable AV receiver that can decode this format. The DV30 will decode DD 6. 1 soundtracks into analogue 2. 1 only. Dolby ProLogic II Dolby Digital (5. 1) This is the mandatory soundtrack encoding for DVD movies. Also known as DD (3/2) or DD 5. 1, DD provides (up to) 5. 1 output from suitably encoded Dolby Digital DVDs. There are five main channels (Front Left, Front Right, Centre, Surround Left, Surround Right) and a Low Frequency Effects Channel for the subwoofer, all discretely encoded. Decoding of Dolby Digital to full 5. 1 requires a Dolby Digital encoded DVD disc (nearly all DVDs) and a digital connection from the DV30 to a suitable AV Receiver. The DV30 itself can also decode DD 5. 1 soundtracks into analogue 2. 1 only. Note: Dolby Digital and DTS formats can sometimes carry fewer channels than their maximum, e. g. Dolby Digital (2/0), in which case a Dolby Digital encoded signal is only carrying a two-channel stereo signal (other channels inactive). This is dependent on the way the DVD has been encoded during manufacture. ProLogic II is a Dolby technology whereby five channels (Front Left, Front Right, Centre, Surround Left and Surround Right) are encoded into a Stereo mix by an analogue matrix process. This mix will just be played back as normal Stereo by equipment such as the DV30 that does not decode PLII (as Stereo + Sub in the DV30's case). Decoding PLII soundtracks to five channels requires an analogue or digital connection from the DV30 to a suitable surround-sound processor able to decode this format. DTS 5. 1, DTS-ES 6. 1 Matrix, DTS-ES 6. 1 Discrete, DTS Neo:6, DTS 96/24 Various DTS technologies providing (up to) 5. 1/6. 1 (and 7. 1 with mono rear surrounds) output from suitably encoded DTS material. Some newer DVDs carry both the mandatory DD and an optional DTS surround encoding on alternative audio tracks. The DV30 cannot decode these optional DTS formats itself but is able to pass them, via its digital outputs, for decoding externally by a suitable AV receiver. [. . . ] Once installed open the DivX Player Program and go to Tools -- Device Manager -- Register Device. Then follow the on-line instructions where you will be asked for a DivX Video On Demand Registration Code (or ID). Your code can be found in the DV30's `Preference Page' menu under `DivX VOD'. \ . .
