Stand alone DTS Decoder /Preamp
Simply connect the Millennium’s digital input to your disc player’s digital output and you now
have a stand alone DTS 20 bit 5.1 channel decoder with volume control.
In-line, ‘pass-through’ design
The Millennium 2.4.6 can be inserted in-line between virtually any audio component where line-
level analog audio is present. It may also stand alone as a DTS Decoder/ Preamp if DTS is the
only 5.1 digital format you are decoding.
Automatic and Manual modes of operation
When a volume controlled line-level source is used, the Millennium 2.4.6 has the ability to match
its output volume to that of the analog source, and is controlled by the source.
Re-equalization
The Millennium 2.4.6 contains a proprietary re-equalization curve which is optimized for clarity
and smoothness from the 20-bit ultra-live and multi-dimensional DTS 5.1 channel digital audio
format.
Down-mixing capability
The Millennium 2.4.6 has the ability to down mix the surround, center, and/or sub audio into the
main left and right channels, accommodating systems with two to six channels. However, it is
recommended that to fully appreciate DTS 20 bit 5.1 channel digital surround programs, no
down mixing options be engaged, by leaving switches 1-2-3 in their factory preset (up) position.
Automatic prioritized digital input selection
If both coaxial and optical digital inputs on the Millennium 2.4.6 are simultaneously presented
with digital data, at the user’s option a configuration switch may favor one or the other automati-
cally.
Individual trim adjustments
There are three ± 15dB trim adjustments ( center, sub and surrounds) for optimizing the balance
of your loudspeakers relative to listening positions.
12V DC operation
The Millennium 2.4.6 is supplied with a separate 12V DC power supply, to keep noisy AC lines
away from the sensitive line-level signals. AC noise is kept near the wall outlet – where it
belongs. 12V DC operation also readily allows use in an RV, vessel or automobile installation.
Depending on the components currently in your sound system there are several possibilities for
the proper installation of the Millennium 2.4.6. We’ve provided diagrams for the most common
multi-channel system configurations on the following pages. If you encounter any problems with
