Audiolab 8000AP Supported Formats

The 8000AP features four types of input: Stereo Analogue:

5.1 analogue: SPDIFdigital (optical and coaxial): HDMI.

All these inputs (with the exception of 5.1 analogue) have

processing options. The following lists detail the various

options that can be applied to the various inputs. It should be

stressed that in the case of digital sources, the more esoteric

formats are all optional - all DVD discs offer basic multi-

channel processing and the 8000AP caters for all of those.

Analogue Inputs

HDMI Inputs

DVD Players

There are many DVD players on the market and very many

formats - more are added all the time, some useful, many not.

Your existing DVD player will support many formats but

almost certainly not all. Equally the Audiolab 8000A supports

the vast majority of formats but again, not all although every

popular format is supported including most High Definition

and audiophile formats. Before using the 8000AP please

read your DVD and other digital player handbooks to

ascertain which formats your player will support.

Linear PCM - up to 8 channels of uncompressed audio

(LPCM), BD

Dolby Digital 5.1-channel surround sound.

DTS Digital Surround 5.1 channel surround sound

DTS-HD

DTS-HD Master

Dolby Digital Plus

Dolby True HD

The 8000AP is HDMI 1.2a compliant and HDMI 1.3

compatible and will in most circumstances allow you to enjoy

all of the above formats.

Cycling the processor’s Mode Key will display all the formats

available with the current combination of player and disc. In

other words the formats available at any time will depend

both on the format support built into your player the

actual disc you are playing.

: Set your BD/HD player

to output PCM (typical player settings are 'Auto' or PCM)

From the disc, select either the LPCM , Dolby True HD or

DTS-HD Master Audio sound track.

Dolby True HD and DTS-HD Master Audio are

“lossless compressed audio formats” In other words they are

uncompressed Linear PCM (LPCM) tracks 'zipped up' rather

like a .zip file on a computer. The built in codec in your

BD/HD player will “un-zip” the file and pass the

uncompressed LPCM stream on to the 8000AP.
