Setting the AMBMME bit enables the proper mixing to take place for various preset bass
management configurations. Setting the AMBMXE bit enables the proper crossover filtering
in biquad #7 to take place. The crossover for bass management is always 2nd order
(24 dB/oct) and the crossover frequency is determined by register bits PREEQ.XO[2:0].
All configurations of Dolby® bass management can be performed in the IC. These different
configurations are selected as they would be by the end-user.
The Automode bass management settings utilize channels 1-6 on the Mix #1 engine,
Channels 1-6 biquad #6, and channels 1-2 on the mix #2 engine in configuration #2. These
functions cannot be user programmed while the bass management Automode is active.
Not all settings are valid as some configurations are unlikely and do not have to be
supported by Dolby® specification.
Automatic crossover settings are provided or custom crossovers can be implemented using
the available programmable biquads.
