Switching on Dolby® Digital audio
With the digital-audio outputs you can connect your SkyHD box to a compatible

change the default settings on your SkyHD box:
1 Press services, scroll right to Settings and press select.

left/right to choose Dolby D.
3 Press green (Save Settings) when you’re done.
Some older amplifiers may not support Dolby® Digital audio.
