What is Decode DD2.0?
In the special ‘96’ menu (see Q. 34) there is an option for the player to decode Dolby Digital 2.0 tracks. This option is normally used in installations where the audio output is configured to pass a bitstream to the surround processor. In such cases, normally, the surround controller will be required to decode Dolby Digital or DTS. This menu item allows the player to pass the bitsream only when the track is multichannel. If the track is stereo (or Dolby Stereo) then this option forces the player to decode internally. The reason this is beneficial is that doing so will allow Meridian surround controllers/processors like 561, 568 (not 568.2) or 861 (pre version 3) to engage the ProLogic II preset. The default setting is ‘Yes’.
