AUTOSTANDARD controls the audio matrix when the user has selected the DAC as source (AUD-MX-
CNT bits[6:4] = 010). In this case it will mute the outputs or select MIN. These functions can be overriden
by bits 6 and 7 below.
MUTE OV : Mute override, 1 = mute (override AUTOSTANDARD)
forces the audio signal to be muted.
MONO OV : FM/AM Mono override, 1 = mono (override AUTOSTANDARD) forces
can be used to forceto analoguesound. This may be useful in the case of marginal NICAM
reception to prevent automatic switching.

UNMUTE : Nicam Un-mute, 1 = unmute
allows the NICAM decoder to be unmuted if the bit error rate is higher than the preset limit;
this overrides the automatic switching to FM or AM which would normally occur.
C4 OV
: CBI4 override, 1 => CBI[4] forced to 1 internally
is used to override the 4th NICAM control bit (reserve sound switch) if required. This bit is
transmitted by the broadcaster to indicate that the analogue sound carrier is a backup of
the NICAM signal; this is usually the case. If the NICAM signal fails, the STV8203 will
automatically switch to backup sound if the received bit was set to 1. If this bit was set to
0 and bit 4 set to 0, the decoder will 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
analogue and 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 not be programmed.
