I am not very familiar with the M system and would someone provide me an explanation about the MHR, MMHR, upsampling and high speed yellow light of the DSP speakers. The following are my questions:

Q1. If I playback a Redbook CD and feed this 16/44.1 signal to one of these M processors (568,568.2,568.2mm,G61,G61R,G68) via its 1 x coaxial digital input, is each of these M processors able to output an upsampled digital signal to the 24/96 DSP speakers? Is this upsampled signal known as MHR or a 24/96 signal?

Q2. Under what circumstance a 24/96 DSP speaker will has its yellow light turn on? If a transporter feeds a 24/96 SPDIF digital signal directly to the 24/96 DSP speaker without a M processor, will the yellow light turn on?

Q3. Is a 596 able to output a high resolution signal (MHR) on playback of redbook CD? Is this MHR only applicable to DVD playback? The 596 specification documented " 1 x digital coax SPDIF/IEC1937/MHR for transferring PCM up to 96kHz 24-bit Dolby Digital (AC-3) or DTS bitstream". Is it true that only the G08, 800 and 808 can output an upsampled 2CH digital signal on its coaxial digital output?

Q4. Am I right that only those DVD players having 3xSPDIF coaxial outputs, or the 598 having the smartlink, are able to output a MMHR signal to a M processor?

Q5. Given that a 24/96 DSP speaker can upsample a 16/44.1 incoming signal via its D1 or D2 input (Am I right?), shall I expect an easily distinguishable improvement when this DSP speaker is fed with a high resolution input (with the yellow light on) in comparison to a 16/44.1 input without upsampling.


Many thanks in advance
