New Yamaha V2400

<font color='#000000'>Opening up my new V2400

Special insert separate from manual describes how to use Dolby Pro Logic IIx

Front panel has a sticker saying that the unit is software upgradable via its RS-232 port - I knew there was a reason to get the V2400 over the V1400 &nbsp;

<font color='#000000'>I've answered my question from another post about whether the Audigy sound card can send multi-channel output digitally to the Yamaha. &nbsp;In a word, no. &nbsp;It will only send 2 channels digitially. &nbsp;They show up on the receiver as PCM at 48khz - apparently the Audigy up-converts my 44.1 khz WMA files to 48 khz.

Does the SPDIF spec allow for sending more than 2 PCM channels?</font>

Did the sticker say anything about how to upgrade the software. &nbsp;I also have the 2400, but it is not upgraded for DPL IIx. &nbsp;I don't recall seeing a sticker.</font>

<font color='#000000'>I don't have any info about how to upgrade via the RS-232 port. &nbsp;You probably will have to send your unit back to Yamaha to get DPL IIx.</font>

<font color='#000080'>You can definitely send 5.1 from the Audigy to your receiver via digital coax, assuming the source and the playback software support it. You may have a setup problem.</font>

<font color='#000000'>Sorry for the confusion, I was speaking of PCM digital not Dolby Digital.</font>
