Frequently Asked Questions - Decoder Radial Engineering
What is the Radial Engineering Decoder used for?
The Decoder is a surround sound processor that decodes Dolby Digital and DTS audio for home theater or studio applications. It provides channel delay, bass management, and level adjustments.
How do I connect the Decoder to my home theater system?
Use the digital inputs (optical or coaxial) for the source signal. Connect the analog outputs to your amplifier or powered speakers. The headphone output can be used for private listening.
Can I use the Decoder with a stereo source?
Yes, the Decoder can process stereo PCM signals and apply surround sound algorithms (e.g., Dolby Pro Logic) to create a multi-channel effect.
How do I adjust the speaker distances or delays?
Navigate to the Setup menu using the front panel encoder. Select 'Speaker Setup' and then 'Delay'. Adjust delay in milliseconds for each channel to align the sound.
What signal formats does the Decoder support?
It supports Dolby Digital, DTS, and PCM up to 24-bit/96kHz. It can also handle Dolby Digital EX and DTS-ES matrix formats.
Why is there no audio output?
Check that the input source is active and the Decoder is powered on. Verify the input format is compatible. Ensure the output connections are secure and the speakers/amplifier are powered.
How do I reset the Decoder to factory defaults?
Press and hold the 'Menu' button for 5 seconds until the screen shows 'Factory Reset'. Confirm with the encoder. This will erase all custom settings.
Can I rackmount the Decoder?
Yes, the Decoder is 1U rackmount size. Use included rack ears to mount it in a standard 19-inch equipment rack.
Does the Decoder have a remote control?
Yes, an IR remote is included for basic functions: volume, mute, input selection, and adjusting presets.
