Hello.
The new SKY HD decoder for Italy has an optical SPDIF out which is set to output AC3 audio.
When I use my G68J, input O3, it can't proprely decode the AC3 audio.
The display shows - alternately:
AC3 3/2.1 48k (for a second)
and
Data 48k (for the rest of the time).
Unfortunately there is no audio output.
It happens that I have a pair of Earphones with a Dolby Decoder which accepts SPDIF input and internally decodes it. There is no problem at all - it recognizes AC3 audio and decodes it.
So I believe that there could be a problem in the way my Meridian is managing this audio flow.
Can anybody help me? This is the first time that I have a problem with this wonderful piece and I presume that I am doing something wrong - may be there is somewhere some software setup which I am not properly using.
Thank you all in advance who will respond
Paolo

Hi,
In the Meridian configuration program there is a tick box , which says poor audio source for each of the inputs. Give it a try and tick it for the optical input. It might correct the problem.

Thank you Harry.
Is there a chance to do this without using the MC program? I haven't my laptop at home now and must use front bottons...

I think you need the pc to set it.
Also try a different optical cable.

If you think listening to music is fun, try learning an instrument.

Paolo......
It may also be worth ensuring SKY are actually broadcasting in AC3, and thast the output is actually supported within the hardware.
I assume SKY HD will have AC3, but SKY have a habit of not fully supporting the features on the box!!
However this is all guesswork........but worth checking, just in case
Good luck
