AUTOSTANDARD controls the audio matrix when the user has selected the DAC as source (AUD-MX-
CNT bits[6:4] = 010). In thiscase it will mute the outputs or select MIN. These functionscan be overriden
by bits 6 and 7 below.
MUTEOV
: Mute override,1 = mute (overrideAUTOSTANDARD)
forces the audio signal to be muted.

UNMUTE
: Nicam Un-mute, 1 = unmute

this overrides the automaticswitching to FMor AMwhich would normally occur.
: CBI4 override, 1 => CBI[4] forced to 1 internally
is usedto overridethe 4th NICAM controlbit (reservesoundswitch) if required. Thisbit is
transmitted by the broadcasterto indicate that the analoguesound carrieris a backupof
the NICAM signal; this is usually the case. If the NICAM signal fails, the STV8203 will
automaticallyswitch to backupsound if the received bit was set to 1. If this bit was set to
0 and bit 4 set to 0, the decoderwill stay switched to analogue sound. If bit 4 is set to 1,
the received CBI4 is ignored. Note that if automatic standard is off, switching between
analogueand NICAM audio must be done manually.

Time 1 is used for NICAM and FM mono validation and time 2 for Zweiton. If the standard is not found
within this time limit, the next standard will be tried. Time 1 = decimal [bit 3:0] x 32ms. Time 2 = deci-
mal [bit 7:4] x 128ms.Time 1 default value is 160ms.Time 2 default value is 1280ms.
A time of 0ms should notbe programmed.
