Digital Audio / Surround Sound; Hdtv / 720P Information; Software And Updates - Buffalo LinkTheater P4LWAG User Manual

Digital Audio / Surround Sound:

The LinkTheater supports surround sound (AC3, Dolby Digital,
etc.) by utilizing the TOSLINK/Optical audio connector on the
back of the LinkTheater. The LinkTheater does not ship with a
TOSLINK cable, but they are readily available from almost any
electronic's store.
The LinkTheater can natively pass AC3 and other digital formats
to an audio receiver to decode. For maximum quality and
compatibility, it only passes digital audio tracks through to the
receiver and relies on the receiver to decode. When you're
using the regular, composite stereo connectors, the LinkTheater
decodes any digital sound track to analog stereo.
HDTV / 720p Support:
The LinkTheater supports HD resolutions at 720p. Natively it
will play Mpeg-4 and WMV 9 HD clips that are encoded up to 2.5
Mbps.
For all other non-HD content, the LinkTheater will upconvert
lower resolution content to 720p for improved visual quality.
To change your display mode, please see the 'Display Settings'
area of this user's guide.

Software and Updates:
