AC 3 audio in DM 500 HD

  • hello


    I had my new DM500 HD bought from Dubai. I had a question to clarrify. I tuned some channels which Video is OK but Audio doesn't come. I checked the broad caster specification which says audio relayed under AC3 format.


    The Technical features of the DM500 HD say's, S/PDIF interface for digital bit stream out (AC3).What type of arrangements I have to do to get the audio. In my uderstanding ,I have to optical (toslink) cable in digital audio output port to get the AC3 audio .Please advise this is correct.

  • This is correct. For output of ac3 you need an external device, that is capable of playing ac3- sound (most TVs are not).


    If you want to downmix ac3 to stereo so that you can hear sound over the normal connection to the tv then switch on "ac3 downmix" in the AV- settings.
