Setting Description
Audio Coding
Format
Selects the audio coding format on the digital output (HDMI and SPDIF) when
tuned to a channel carrying compressed audio. The following formats are
supported:
• PCM/Stereo – Send decoded audio in PCM format over the digital outputs.
• Dolby Digital – Send Dolby Digital audio over the digital outputs.
• HDMI – Send appropriate audio format, as per auto negotiation between STB and
TV, when connected over HDMI. If the negotiation indicates:
o
PCM – send decoded audio in PCM format over the digital outputs
o
Dolby Digital – send Dolby Digital audio over the digital outputs
• Dolby Digital Plus – send Dolby Digital Plus over HDMI and Dolby Digital over
SPDIF.
Audio Output
Range
Sets the preferred audio dynamic range when the input audio is decoded by the
STB. Three options are allowed
• Narrow (default) – Enables minimum dynamic range and is most appropriate
when the TV is connected to the STB over the RF output.
• Normal – Enables moderate dynamic range which is most appropriate when a
receiver is connected to the STB over baseband or digital outputs.
• Wide – Enables the complete dynamic range to be reproduced on all outputs,
which is most suitable for advanced users who have high quality speakers and
audio equipment.
Audio Output Sets the audio output to a fixed or variable setting. The fixed setting produces a
constant output level from the set-top (recommended when connected to an
external receiver). This setting does not apply to the Audio Out (Fixed) connector.
3D Mode Selections are Enabled or Disabled.
Enabled – The “D” key on the remote toggles 3D graphics display modes through
the settings, 2D, 3DTB, and 3DSS.
Disabled – The “D” key on the remote is disabled. The 3D graphics display mode is
set by the signal of the selected program.
Video Sharpness Adjusts the picture sharpness when viewing a standard-definition (SD) program.
The Video Sharpness setting affects all of the video outputs. By default, the
sharpness level of 3 is selected. The DCX3510-M supports five distinct levels of
video picture sharpness. A value of 1 corresponds to a "softer" picture while a value
of 5 corresponds to a "sharper" picture. The best sharpness setting depends upon
the video connection being used, the display quality of the TV, and personal
preference.
RF Output Channel The default selection is channel 3.
Power ON Timer The designated time for the set-top to power on.
Status This selection disables or enables the Power ON Timer.
