JBL  
Thank you for purchasing the SDP-40 Digital Controller – a  
reference-quality, 12-channel digital surround processor with  
built-in digital audio processing, 12 configurable inputs, and 3  
independent zones. Beyond the standard 5.1-channel outputs, the  
unit features stereo rear and stereo subwoofer outputs.  
Additionally, the SDP-40 provides balanced audio outputs for all  
Main Zone and Zone 2 outputs.  
Four 32-bit DSP engines provide enormous processing power.  
Custom algorithms process 96kHz/24-bit audio in all listening  
modes. A fifth processor, the Crystal 49326 Audio DSP, decodes  
multi-channel compressed audio data sources. Three expansion  
slots make it possible to more than quadruple available processing  
power.  
Analog sources are processed at 96kHz. Digital sources use a  
two-stage phase lock loop for extremely low intrinsic jitter with  
high-jitter rejection. Each MAIN AUDIO OUTPUT incorporates  
24-bit/192kHz digital-to-analog converters operating in dual  
differential mode to ensure the highest quality performance. There  
are two broadcast-quality video switchers. The ultra-wide  
bandwidth component video switcher accepts any analog  
component or RGB video input type. The S- and composite video  
switcher accommodates high-quality NTSC, PAL, or SECAM video  
input types.  
Inside and out, the unit is designed with an eye toward the future.  
The rear panel has stereo auxiliary outputs to provide more audio  
channels, and a removable access plate to accommodate  
connectors for new technologies. Inside, three expansion slots are  
available for future upgrades. The system software can be  
upgraded in the field using the RS-232 port.  
The SDP-40 features LOGIC7™ technology. LOGIC7 creates a  
7.1-channel output from any input signals (except mono input  
signals). Unlike many decoders, LOGIC7 is compatible with most  
input signals and requires no special encoding. Because the  
improvement it provides is clearly audible, LOGIC7 is widely  
recognized as the finest surround decoder available.  
Input configuration allows any source to be assigned to any input.  
The unit will automatically switch between digital and  
analog sources. The intuitive user interface, with color on-screen  
display, makes it easy to configure the unit. Three subwoofer  
outputs and sophisticated routing provide intelligent bass  
management.  
Dolby Digital, THX Surround EX, dts, dts-ES, and Dolby Pro  
Logic II are also included. THX certification guarantees that  
specifications meet the highest standards set forth by Lucasfilm’s  
Home THX division.  
With its unique combination of power, flexibility, and  
expandability, the SDP-40 is equipped for the needs of today and  
the demands of tomorrow.

USING THE DOCUMENTATION  
LOCATION CONSIDERATIONS  
The SDP-40 has many impressive features. It is designed to be  
customized to individual systems and listening spaces. For these  
reasons, the information contained in this user guide is extensive.  
The unit requires special care during installation to ensure  
optimal performance. The unit should be installed on a shelf or in  
a standard 19” equipment rack using the enclosed optional  
rack-mount kit.  
Refer to this documentation for assistance with installation,  
calibration, and operation of the unit. Settings that are reached  
during the calibration process can be recorded on the installation  
worksheet located in the Appendix (see page A-12).  
CAUTION  
Observe the following precautions when installing the unit:  
•
•
Select a dry, well-ventilated location out of direct sunlight.  
Do not stack the unit directly above heat-producing  
equipment, such as power amplifiers.  
USER GUIDE SYMBOLS  
Following are symbols that appear throughout this user guide:  
•
•
Avoid placing the unit near unshielded TV or FM antennas, cable  
TV decoders, and other RF emitting devices. If placed in close  
proximity to the unit, these devices may cause interference.  
WARNING  
CAUTION  
Calls attention to a procedure, practice, condition, or  
the like that, if not correctly performed or adhered  
to, could result in injury or death.  
Do not obstruct the front panel IR Receiver window (see pages  
2-2 and 2-6 for illustrations). The remote control must be in  
line-of-sight with the receiver for proper operation. If line-of-  
sight is impractical, an infrared remote system can be used  
with the rear panel IR IN connector. The unit can be placed  
inside a glass cabinet. However, smoked glass will reduce the  
range of the remote control as well as the readability of the  
front panel display.  
Calls attention to a procedure, practice, condition, or

batteries are low on power, the remote control will enter a low-voltage condition that prevents it  
from operating the unit. Operation will be restored when new batteries are installed.

SDP-40  
•
Audio will mute for up to 2 seconds when:  
UNDERSTANDING THE ZONES  
-
The same input is selected in the Main Zone that is  
already selected in Zone 2 or the Record Zone.  
Likewise, when the input is deselected in the Main  
Zone.  
The SDP-40 features three zones: the Main Zone, Zone 2, and the  
Record  
Zone.  
The  
Main  
Zone  
is  
designed  
to  
control audio and video signals in the primary listening space,  
Zone 2 is designed to control audio signals in the secondary  
listening space, and the Record Zone is designed to control audio  
and video signals for recording devices. The Record Zone can also  
function as a third zone, controlling audio and video signals in a  
third listening space.  
-
The same input is selected in Zone 2 or the Record  
Zone that is already selected in the Main Zone.  
Likewise, when the input is deselected in Zone 2 or the  
Record Zone.  
All three zones utilitize separate digital audio receivers, analog-to-  
digital converters, and digital-to-analog converters. This allows  
independent input selection in each zone with most input types.  
For instance, the unit can play a DVD in the Main Zone, play a CD  
in Zone 2, and send signals from a satellite receiver to a VCR  
through the Record Zone - all at the same time.  
•
When the 5.1 BYPASS listening mode is selected for the  
Main Zone, the same input can be utilized by Zone 2 or  
the Record Zone. However, only the FRONT L/R input  
signals will be available.  
The following exceptions apply to independent zone function:  
•
The same Dolby Digital or dts(-ES) input type can be  
selected in all zones simultaneously. However, when a  
Dolby Digital or dts(-ES) input type is active in the Main  
Zone, a different Dolby Digital or dts(-ES) input type  
cannot be active in Zone 2 or the Record Zone.  
•
•
Zone 2 and the Record Zone will provide a downmix (a  
2-channel version of multi-channel digital audio) only  
when using the same input that is selected in the Main  
Zone.  
Use caution when switching from a Dolby Digital input  
type to a dts(-ES) input type in the Record Zone. A loud,  
brief noise may occur.

UNDERSTANDING LISTENING MODE SELECTION  
MODE BUTTONS  
There are three different methods of selecting listening modes in  
the Main Zone:  
This type of listening mode selection occurs each time the Mode  
Up and Down buttons are pressed on the front panel, or the MODE  
+/- buttons are pressed on the remote control. This type of mode  
scrolling allows auditioning of all listening modes available for the  
current input type.  
•
•
The INPUT SETUP Menu  
The Mode up and down buttons on the front panel or the  
MODE +/- buttons on the remote control  
•
The Mode Family Selection Buttons on the remote control:  
Pressing the Mode Up/MODE + button selects the previous  
listening mode on the list. Pressing the Mode Down/MODE -  
button selects the next listening mode on the list. 2-channel  
listening modes are listed on page 3-10. Dolby Digital and dts(-ES)  
listening modes are listed on page 3-11. These lists are not visible  
on the on-screen and front panel displays during scrolling.  
MUSIC  
Listening mode selection only applies to the Main Zone.  
INPUT SETUP MENU  
Note:  
This type of listening mode selection occurs each time a listening  
mode is changed in the INPUT SETUP menu, and each time an  
input is selected using the input selection buttons on the front  
panel or the remote control.  
When the input type changes, the unit will  
automatically revert to the default listening modes  
selected in the INPUT SETUP menu. If USE LAST is  
selected in the INPUT SETUP menu when the input  
format changes, the unit will revert to the listening  
mode that was last used for the input type.  
The INPUT SETUP menu can be used to select a preferred  
2-channel, Dolby Digital, and dts(-ES) listening mode for each  
input. When an input type is recognized, the unit automatically  
defaults to the appropriate listening mode. (See page 3-3 for more  
information about the INPUT SETUP menu. See Section 5 for more  
information about listening modes.)  
For example, the 2-CH parameter on the INPUT SETUP menu is set  
to LOGIC7 FILM and the DOLBY D parameter is set to 5.1 LOGIC7  
MUSIC. When the input type changes from 2-channel to Dolby  
Digital, the listening mode will automatically change from LOGIC7  
FILM to 5.1 LOGIC7 MUSIC.

Selecting ANALOG IN accesses the ANALOG IN menu, which can  
be used to assign the analog input connector for the selected  
input. The appearance of the ANALOG IN menu depends on the  
REAR PANEL CONFIG setting (see page 3-30). When 8 STEREO

When 5 STEREO & 5.1 ANLG is selected on the REAR PANEL

be replaced with 5.1 ANALOG.  
Selecting ANLG IN LVL accesses the ANLG IN LVL menu, which can  
be used to adjust analog input levels. Despite industry attempts at  
standardization, analog sources have a wide range of output  
levels. To compensate for this, each of the eight analog inputs on  
the unit can be assigned a different analog input level. This assures  
optimum performance regardless of source.

levels. When the signal is too high, ANLG IN LVL is quickly  
decreased to avoid overload. When the signal is too low, ANLG IN  
LVL is slowly increased to maximize the signal-to-noise ratio and  
dynamic range. The AUTO parameter setting will never exceed the  
current MANUAL parameter setting. The current AUTO parameter  
setting is shown in the INPUT GAIN parameter. When the AUTO  
parameter is set to OFF, the ANLG IN LVL parameter can be  
adjusted manually.  
The current setting is shown in the MANUAL and INPUT GAIN  
parameters. When switching from AUTO to MANUAL adjustment,  
the INPUT GAIN parameter will continue to reflect the last AUTO  
setting until the MANUAL setting is adjusted.  
The level meters in the lower-left corner indicate fluctuating input  
levels in the left (L) and right (R) channels. These meters indicate  
signal levels for the selected input, whether the input signal is  
analog or digital. For example, if the input signal is digital only, the  
level meters will indicate the digital input signal levels.

at which the current setting falls within the -18 to +12dB  
parameter range. Press the up and down MENU arrows to increase  
and decrease the setting in 1dB increments. Press the left MENU  
arrow to close the graph and return to the ANLG IN LVL menu.  
These level meters appear in combinations of green, yellow, and  
red on the blue-screen background. Green indicates normal input  
levels; yellow indicates the onset of overload; and red  
indicates overload. The yellow arrow to the right of each bar  
indicates the current input peak level. The INPUT GAIN parameter  
also shows the current input level, whether AUTO or MANUAL is  
selected.

INPUT SELECT  
(AUTO, ANALOG, DIGITAL)  
The INPUT SETUP menu allows the selection of two audio  
connector types - one analog, one digital. INPUT SELECT specifies  
how these connectors interact. The following settings are available:  
Note:  
Some sources supply valid digital audio input types  
that remain active even when no audio is present in  
the signal. Because the unit recognizes these as valid  
digital audio input types, it will not switch to the  
ANALOG IN connector. For these sources, it is  
recommended to configure two different inputs - one  
for digital audio input types, and a second for analog  
audio input types.  
•
The DIGITAL setting forces the unit to utilize the DIGITAL  
IN connector for the Main Zone. If an ANALOG IN  
connector is also selected, it will be ignored. The unit will  
mute when an invalid digital audio input type is received.  
Valid digital audio input types include PCM, Dolby Digital,  
and dts(-ES). The DIGITAL setting will automatically be  
selected when the ANALOG IN parameter on the INPUT  
SETUP menu is set to NONE (see page 3-6).  
ANALOG BYPASS  
(ON, OFF)  
ANALOG BYPASS allows analog input types to bypass analog-to-  
digital conversion and internal processing. When set to ON, the  
unit passes the analog input signal to the corresponding analog  
outputs.  
•
•
The ANALOG setting forces the unit to utilize the selected  
ANALOG IN connector for the Main Zone. If a DIGITAL IN  
connector is also selected, it will be ignored. The ANALOG  
setting will automatically be selected when the DIGITAL IN  
parameter on the INPUT SETUP menu is set to NONE (see  
page 3-5).  
For stereo analog sources, the input is sent to the FRONT L/R  
outputs. For a 5.1-channel analog source, the (L) input is sent to  
the FRONT L output. The (R) input is sent to the FRONT R output.  
The (C) input is sent to the CENTER output. The (SUB) input is sent  
to the SUBWOOFER L/R and LFE outputs. The (LS) input is sent to  
the SIDE and REAR L outputs. The (RS) input is sent to the SIDE and  
REAR R outputs.  
The AUTO setting allows the unit to switch between the  
selected DIGITAL IN and ANALOG IN connectors. The  
DIGITAL IN connector is utilized when a valid digital audio  
input type is present. When invalid digital audio input  
types are received, the unit automatically switches to the  
ANALOG IN connector. INPUT SELECT will automatically  
be set to AUTO when a connect or selected for both the  
DIGITAL IN and ANALOG IN parameters. This setting is  
recommended for input sources that utilize both digital  
and analog audio input types, such as a laser disc player.  
Note:  
It is not possible to record from an analog input  
source on the S/PDIF outputs when the Main Zone is  
utilizing the 5.1-channel analog input.

An anamorphic trigger signal is present.  
When ANALOG BYPASS is set to OFF, the unit routes the analog  
input signal through analog-to-digital conversion, internal

COMPONENT OSD activates and deactivates the on-screen display,  
provided the display device is utilizing the COMPONENT VIDEO  
OUTPUT. When set to ON, the COMPONENT VIDEO OUTPUT  
displays the on-screen menus as a 480i video signal on a full

S-VIDEO 16:9  
(AUTO, OFF)  
S-VIDEO 16:9 controls the passage of anamorphic video trigger  
signals. When set to AUTO, the unit allows anamorphic trigger  
signals to pass through the S-video switcher. This enables  
compatible display devices to automatically switch between  
anamorphic and non-anamorphic display modes. When set to OFF,  
the unit prevents anamorphic trigger signals from passing through  
the S-video switcher. This disables compatible display devices from

INPUT SELECT  
(AUTO, ANALOG, DIGITAL)  
DIGITAL IN connector is utilized when a valid digital audio  
input type is present. When invalid digital audio input  
types are received, the unit automatically switches to the  
ANALOG IN connector. INPUT SELECT will automatically  
be set to AUTO when a connect or selected for both the  
DIGITAL IN and ANALOG IN parameters. This setting is  
recommended for input sources that utilize both digital  
and analog audio input types, such as a laser disc player.  
The INPUT SETUP menu allows the selection of two audio  
connector types - one analog, one digital. INPUT SELECT specifies  
how these connectors interact. The following settings are available:  
•
The DIGITAL setting forces the unit to utilize the DIGITAL  
IN connector for Zone 2. If an ANALOG IN connector is  
also selected, it will be ignored. The unit will mute when  
an invalid digital audio input type is received. Valid digital  
audio input types include PCM, Dolby Digital, and  
dts(-ES). See page 2-16 for more information about using  
the DIGITAL setting in multiple zones.  
Note:  
Some sources supply valid digital audio input types  
that remain active even when no audio is present in  
the signal. Because the unit recognizes these as valid  
digital audio input types, it will not switch to the  
ANALOG IN connector. For these sources, it is  
recommended to configure two different inputs - one  
for digital audio input types, and a second for analog  
audio input types.

The AUTO setting allows the unit to switch between the  
selected DIGITAL IN and ANALOG IN connectors. The  
DIGITAL IN connector is utilized when a valid digital audio  
input type is present. When invalid digital audio input  
types are received, the unit automatically switches to the  
ANALOG IN connector. INPUT SELECT will automatically  
be set to AUTO when a connect or selected for both the  
DIGITAL IN and ANALOG IN parameters. This setting is  
recommended for input sources that utilize both digital  
and analog audio input types, such as a laser disc player.  
DIGITAL BYPASS  
(ON, OFF)  
DIGITAL BYPASS allows direct digital recording. When set to ON,  
the unit passes the digital input signal - unaltered - to the S/PDIF  
outputs. When set to OFF, the unit sends digital audio output  
through a sample rate converter before passing it to the S/PDIF  
outputs. This allows the digital output signal to match the input of  
a digital recording device.  
Note:  
Changing the setting of the DIG OUT RATE  
parameter will cause the RECORD AUDIO OUTPUT  
labelled S/PDIF to mute momentarily. Otherwise, DIG  
OUT RATE parameter settings will be ineffective when  
the DIGITAL BYPASS parameter is set to ON.  
Note:  
Some sources supply valid digital audio input types  
that remain active even when no audio is present in  
the signal. Because the unit recognizes these as valid  
digital audio input types, it will not switch to the  
ANALOG IN connector. For these sources, it is  
recommended to configure two different inputs - one  
for digital audio input types, and a second for analog  
audio input types.  
DIG OUT RATE  
(44.1kHz, 48kHz, 88.2kHz, 96kHz, INPUT)  
DIG OUT RATE sets the S/PDIF output sampling rate for analog or  
digital inputs. When set to INPUT, the unit varies the S/PDIF audio  
output rate to match the sampling rate of the input signal. When  
set to a numerical value, the output sampling rate remains at the  
selected value. This is useful for recording devices that operate on  
a single sampling rate, such as CD-R (44.1kHz).  
ANLG IN LVL  
(-18 to +12dB)  
ANLG IN LVL allows manual adjustment of the analog input level of  
the RECORD AUDIO OUTPUT labelled S/PDIF. It is used to prevent  
the internal analog-to-digital converter from overloading. It can be  
adjusted while listening to an input source.  
RECORD  
(ENABLED, BLOCKED)  
RECORD prevents feedback loops with recording devices. When set  
to ENABLED, the unit allows record signals from the selected input  
to pass to the RECORD AUDIO and VIDEO OUTPUTS. When set to  
BLOCKED, the RECORD AUDIO OUTPUTS are blocked, preventing  
feedback loops. However, the unit will still pass video signals to the  
RECORD VIDEO OUTPUTS.  
When ANLG IN LVL is selected, a white horizontal bar graph will  
appear on the screen below the ANLG IN LVL parameter. This  
graph illustrates the position at which the current setting falls  
within the -18 to +12dB parameter range. Press the up and down  
MENU arrows to increase and decrease the setting in 1dB  
increments. Press the left MENU arrow to close the graph and  
return to the RECORD ADV menu.

Determining Crossover Settings  
The CUSTOM SETUP menu allows different crossover points to be  
set for the following MAIN AUDIO OUTPUTS: FRONT L/R, CENTER,  
SIDE L/R, REAR L/R, and SUBWOOFER L/R. Crossover points can be  
set in 10Hz increments within a 30 to 120Hz range. All crossover  
settings activate a 24dB per octave filter, with the exception of THX  
80Hz, which activates a 12dB per octave filter. The graphs on the  
next page illustrate the frequency response of the crossover  
settings.

CUSTOM SETUP  
The CUSTOM SETUP menu can be used to configure the MAIN  
AUDIO OUTPUTS for a custom speaker system. For a Synthesis 7-  
channel setup that requires THX-certified loud speakers, use the  
SYNTHESIS 7CH SETUP menu (see page 3-24).  
For each output, select the crossover setting closest to the  
low-frequency rating of the corresponding speaker. For the  
SUBWOOFER L/R outputs, select the crossover setting that  
matches the lowest setting of the other speakers in the system.  
Crossover settings determine how the unit redirects low-frequency  
signals.

LEVELS CALIBRATION  
Properly calibrated output levels are critical. Setting output levels is  
a simple procedure using a Sound Pressure Level (SPL) meter. This  
device measures the relative loudness of the speakers so that  
output levels can be calibrated accurately. An SPL meter can be  
purchased at Radio Shack (catalog no. 33-2050).

Selecting either INTERNAL NOISE TEST or DACS CALIBRATION  
accesses the SPEAKER LEVEL ADJUST menu

screen. This serves as a reminder that the INTERNAL NOISE TEST  
generates loud calibration noises. When the message appears,  
press the right MENU arrow to proceed to the SPEAKER LEVEL  
ADJUST menu. Press the left MENU arrow to return to the LEVELS  
CALIBRATION menu.  
•
Remove objects (including people) that obstruct the  
line-of-sight path between the SPL meter and the speaker  
being measured.  
As the INTERNAL NOISE TEST is conducted, a noise signal will  
move from output to output following the order on the SPEAKER

the menu highlighting each output as it is tested. Each output is  
tested for approximately 4s. It is possible to manually select a  
speaker just as the unit is about to automatically scroll to the next  
speaker, causing the unit to send the noise signal to both outputs.  
If this occurs, reselect the desired speaker.  
DACS CALIBRATION  
Selecting either INTERNAL NOISE TEST or DACS CALIBRATION  
accesses the SPEAKER LEVEL ADJUST menu (pictured on the  
previous page).  
DACS CALIBRATION requires an external noise source. In JBL  
Synthesis systems, this source is the JBL Digital Acoustical  
Calibration System (DACS®). However, an alternate source such as  
an audio calibration disc can also be used. As the noise test is  
conducted, the SDP-40 loads the DOLBY Pro Logic II, Dolby Digital,  
or dts(-ES) utilizing the signal from the DACS® calibration system  
or audio calibration disc.  
The calibration noise will pass briefly through the SUB R output  
when the SUB L/R parameter on the CUSTOM SETUP or  
SYNTHESIS 7CH SETUP menu is set to MONO, or the SUB RIGHT  
parameter on the SPEAKER LEVELS ADJUST menu is manually  
selected during the test.  
Before making adjustments, set the SPL meter to “C” weighting  
and “SLOW” response. Use the up and down MENU arrows to  
temporarily interrupt automatic scrolling and manually select an  
output. Press the right MENU arrow to select an output for  
adjustment, then use the up and down MENU arrows to increase  
and decrease the level of the selected output in 0.5dB increments  
within a range of -18 to +12dB. Adjust all output levels to achieve  
a 75dB reading on the SPL meter from the primary listening  
position. Press the left MENU arrow to exit the selected output and  
resume automatic scrolling.  
For example, if an analog or PCM input type is coming into the unit  
when DACS CALIBRATION is conducted, the unit will activate the  
DOLBY Pro Logic II listening mode. If a Dolby Digital input type is  
coming in, the unit will activate the DOLBY DIGITAL listening  
mode. And if a dts(-ES) input type is coming in, the unit will acti-  
vate the dts(-ES) listening mode. When DACS CALIBRATION is  
selected, these listening modes will retain their factory-default  
settings. The unit will temporarily disregard customized listening  
mode settings.  
For system optimization using DACS® and a JBL Synthesis Digital  
Equalizer, connect the left and right RCA outputs of the DACS®  
signal generator (EVP-1) to the #1 analog input (which is active in  
the TAPE input) and set the front panel volume level to 0dB. This  
will provide the correct signal path and reference output level.  
Note:  
Speakers that are set to NONE on the CUSTOM  
SETUP menu cannot be adjusted during the  
INTERNAL NOISE TEST. These speakers can be  
adjusted during DACS CALIBRATION, but this is not  
recommended.

Before making adjustments, set the SPL meter according to the  
DACS® Installers Manual or audio calibration disc instructions. If no  
setting is recommended, set the SPL meter to “C” weighting and

all output levels to achieve the appropriate reading on the SPL  
meter from the primary listening position. Press the left MENU  
arrow to exit the selected output and return to the SPEAKER LEVEL  
ADJUST menu.  
SUB LIMITERS  
Dolby Digital and dts(-ES) input types can produce low-frequency  
peaks at much higher levels than 2-channel input types. In home  
listening spaces, the subwoofer and its associated amplifier are  
sometimes unable to reproduce these levels without overloading.  
For this reason, the unit is equipped with internal sub limiters that  
help prevent subwoofer signals from exceeding a designated value.  
This parameter can be adjusted within a 75 to 115dB range.  
Separate limiters are provided for the SUBWOOFER L/R and the LFE  
outputs.

Applies re-equalization and timbre matching. Re-equalization  
simulates the high-frequency rolloff that occurs in a movie  
theater as sound travels from the front speakers to the  
listeners. Most films are mixed for movie theaters, and may  
sound too bright when played back in a home theater without  
re-equalization. Timbre matching helps minimize the timbre  
differences between the front and side channels, which results  
in smoother sound movements between these channels.

5.1  
SUR EX  
The SURROUND EX parameter activates and deactivates the 5.1  
THX SURROUND EX listening mode, provided both side and rear  
speakers are selected (see page 3-18). The default value of this  
parameter is ON, which activates the 5.1 THX SURROUND EX  
listening mode. When set to OFF, the 5.1 THX SURROUND EX  
listening mode becomes 5.1 THX. Toggling the setting of the  
SURROUND EX parameter produces low-level clicks in the front  
speakers.  
Applies re-equalization, timbre matching, and adaptive  
decorrelation. Re-equalization simulates the high-frequency  
rolloff that occurs in a movie theater as sound travels from the  
front speakers to the listeners. Most films are mixed for movie  
theaters, and may sound too bright when played back in a  
home theater without re-equalization. Timbre matching helps  
minimize the timbre differences between the front and side  
channels, which results in smoother sound movements  
between these channels.  
5.1 THX SURROUND EX  
•
Designed for playback of Dolby Digital Surround EX encoded  
sources.  
Adaptive decorrelation increases the perceived width of the  
listening space. Since movie theaters utilize surround speaker  
arrays and most home theaters do not, decorrelation of the  
mono surround channel increases the perceived width of the  
surround field in a home theater.  
•
Similar to 5.1 THX, but utilizes Dolby Pro Logic to decode three  
surround channels from Dolby Digital Surround EX-encoded  
input types.  
•
Applies re-equalization and timbre matching. Re-equalization  
simulates the high-frequency rolloff that occurs in a movie the-  
ater as sound travels from the speakers to the listeners. Most  
films are mixed for movie theaters, and may sound too bright  
when played back in a home theater without re-equalization.  
Timbre matching helps minimize the timbre differences

BASS ENHANCE  
(ON, OFF)  
CENTER MIX  
(-25 to +5dB)  
BASS ENHANCE creates stereo bass, which results in low-frequency  
reproduction that is less localizable and more realistic in the  
listening space. When set to ON, the unit processes the low  
frequencies sent to the FRONT L/R, SIDE L/R, and REAR L/R outputs  
to create stereo low frequencies. This also includes the  
SUBWOOFER L/R outputs when the SUB L/R parameter on the  
CUSTOM SETUP menu is set to STEREO.  
CENTER MIX adjusts the relative level of the center channel that is  
encoded into the front left and right channels. The recommended  
settings are +0dB for film sources and -5dB for music sources.  
CHANNELS  
(3/3.1, 3/2.1, 3/2, 3/1, 2/2, 2/1, 2/0, 1/0)  
CHANNELS indicates the number of channels present in the input  
type. On the DOLBY DIGITAL STATUS menu, the value of the  
CHANNELS parameter will be 3/2.1, 3/2, 3/1, 2/2, 2/1, 2/0, or 1/0.  
On the dts STATUS menu, the value of the CHANNELS parameter  
will be 3/3.1 or 3/2.1. The first digit indicates the number of front  
channels, the digit after the / represents the number of surround  
channels, and the .1 indicates the presence of the LFE channel.  
The crossover setting of the CENTER parameter on the CUSTOM  
SETUP menu is critical to the effectiveness of BASS ENHANCE . It is  
recommended to set the CENTER parameter to 120Hz and the SUB  
L/R parameter to STEREO (if utilizing two subwoofers) to maximize  
the effectiveness of BASS ENHANCE. If SUB L/R is set to MONO, it  
is recommended to use FRONT L/R, SIDE L/R, or REAR L/R speakers  
that are capable of reproducing frequencies at 40Hz or lower. See  
page 3-18 for more information about CUSTOM SETUP menu  
parameters.  
CNTR DLY SAMPLES  
(-127 to +127)  
CNTR DLY SAMPLES (Center Delay Samples) adjusts the relative  
time offset of the CENTER output that is encoded into the FRONT  
L/R outputs. The recommended setting for the CNTR DLY SAMPLES  
parameter is +0, unless the CENTER channel is not properly timed  
and the value of the error is known.  
Note:  
BASS ENHANCE results will vary depending on room  
acoustics. Most listening spaces will have a 2-3dB  
reduction in low frequency energy when BASS  
ENHANCE is set to ON. Use the BASS control to  
compensate for this reduction.  
COMPRESSION  
(AUTO, ON, OFF)  
COMPRESSION increases dialog intelligibility at lower volume  
levels. When set to AUTO, Dolby Digital input types are  
automatically compressed based on volume level. When set to ON,  
full compression is applied regardless of volume level. When set to  
OFF, compression is not applied. This parameter should be set to  
AUTO or ON for Dolby Digital sources that are listened to at lower  
volume levels.  
CENTER  
(OFF, -30 to +12dB)  
CENTER adjusts the output level of the center channel.

CTR WIDTH  
(MIN, 1 to 6, MAX)  
ES DECODE  
(DISCRETE, MATRIX, OFF)  
CTR WIDTH (Center Width) adjusts the center image. When set to  
MIN, the center image is heard from only the center speaker. When  
set to MAX, the center image is heard from only the front left and  
right speakers as a “phantom” center image. When set on the 1 to  
6 scale, the center image is heard in various combinations of all  
three front speakers.  
ES DECODE indicates the presence or absence of dts-ES decoding.  
When the parameter value is DISCRETE, the unit is decoding a  
6.1-channel discrete input type. When the parameter value is  
MATRIX, the unit is decoding a 5.1-channel input type with a  
matrix encoded sixth channel. When the parameter value is OFF,  
the unit is decoding a standard dts (non-ES) input type.  
CUSTOM  
FRONT STEERING  
(OFF, MUSIC, FILM)  
See page 5-17 for information about CUSTOM.  
FRONT STEERING adjusts front steering to match the input source.  
When set to FILM, maximum front steering is applied. When set to  
MUSIC, minimal front steering is applied. When set to OFF, no front  
steering is applied. This parameter should be set to FILM for film  
sources and to MUSIC or OFF for music sources.  
DIMENSION  
(FRONT, NEUTRAL ,REAR)  
DIMENSION adjusts the relative balance of the soundfield, which  
can be useful to achieve a more suitable balance from all speakers  
with certain recordings. When set to FRONT, the soundfield is  
balanced toward the front of the listening space. When set to  
NEUTRAL, the soundfield is balanced at the center of the listening  
space. When set to REAR, the soundfield is balanced toward the  
rear of the listening space.  
INPUT  
(INPUT)  
INPUT indicates the name of the selected input.  
INPUT TYPE  
(ANLG, DOLBY D, PCM)  
INPUT TYPE indicates the current input type. When the parameter  
value is ANLG, a 2-channel analog audio input source is present.  
When the parameter value is PCM, a 2-channel digital audio input  
source is present. When the parameter value is DOLBY D, a Dolby  
Digital audio input source is present.  
EFFECT LVL  
(-12 to +6dB)  
EFFECT LVL (Effect Level) adjusts the amount of ambience applied  
to the listening mode.  
ENCODING  
(MATRIX, NONE)  
LFE  
(OFF, -30 to +12dB)  
ENCODING indicates the presence (MATRIX) or absence (NONE)  
of Dolby Surround encoding.  
LFE (Low-frequency Effects) adjusts the output level of the LFE out-  
put.

SDP-40  
LFE MIX  
(-20.0 or -10.0 to +0.0dB)  
RE-EQUALIZER  
(ON, OFF)  
LFE MIX adjusts the level of the LFE channel (the .1 channel in a 5.1  
or 6.1-channel source) that is sent to the SUBWOOFER L/R outputs.  
Low frequencies from as many as five other channels may be  
combined with the LFE channel to create the SUBWOOFER L/R  
output signal, significantly raising subwoofer output levels. Careful  
adjustment of this parameter allows achievement of proper tonal  
balance and reduces the risk of subwoofer overload.  
RE-EQUALIZER simulates the high-frequency rolloff that occurs in a  
movie theater as sound travels from speakers to the listeners. When  
set to ON, the unit applies a high-frequency rolloff. When set to  
OFF, the unit does not apply a high-frequency rolloff. Most films are  
mixed for movie theaters, and may sound too bright when played  
back in home theaters without re-equalization. RE-EQUALIZER  
should be set to ON for such film sources.  
MASTER LEVEL  
(-5 to +5dB)  
REAR DLY OFFSET  
(0 to 30ms)  
MASTER LEVEL adjusts the output level of LOGIC7 encoded  
2-channel signals.  
REAR DLY OFFSET (Rear Delay Offset) increases the perceived depth  
of the listening space by delaying the arrival time of signals from  
the rear speakers. This time delay can be set within a range of 0 to  
30ms. Increasing this time is recommended when using SIDE L/R  
and REAR L/R speakers that are located close together, or when a  
greater sense of depth is desired in the listening space.  
MODE  
(MODE)  
MODE indicates the name of the selected listening mode.  
OUTPUT LEVELS  
REAR L/R  
(OFF, -30 to +12dB)  
See page 5-17 for information about OUTPUT LEVELS.  
REAR L/R (Rear Left/Right) adjusts the output level of the REAR L/R  
outputs.  
PANORAMA  
(ON, OFF)  
REF OFFSET  
(-4dB)  
When set to ON, PANORAMA extends the front stereo image to  
include the surround speakers for a “wraparound” effect with side  
wall imaging.  
REF OFFSET (Reference Offset) indicates the dialog normalization  
value that is present in Dolby Digital input types.  
SAMPLE RATE  
(44.1kHz, 48kHz, 88.2kHz, 96kHz)  
SAMPLE RATE indicates the sample rate of the input type.  
SIDE L/R  
(OFF, -30 to +12dB)  
SIDE L/R (Side Left/Right) can be used to adjust the output level of  
the SIDE L/R outputs.

SOUND STAGE  
(FRONT, NEUTRAL, REAR)  
SURROUND EX  
(ON, OFF)  
SOUND STAGE dynamically adjusts the relative balance of the  
outputs when no surround signals are present. When set to FRONT,  
the SIDE L/R and REAR L/R outputs are attenuated, shifting the per-  
ceived balance of the sound field to the front of the listening space.  
When set to NEUTRAL, the SIDE L/R and REAR L/R outputs are  
attenuated slightly, shifting the perceived balance of the sound  
field to the center of the listening space. When set to REAR, the  
SIDE L/R and REAR L/R outputs are not attenuated, preserving the  
intended balance of the sound field.  
SURROUND EX activates and deactivates the 5.1 THX SURROUND  
EX listening mode, provided both side and rear speakers are select-  
ed (see page 3-18). The default value of the SURROUND EX  
parameter is ON, which activates 5.1 THX SURROUND EX. When  
set to OFF, the 5.1 THX SURROUND EX listening mode becomes  
5.1 THX. (See page 5-10 for more information.) Toggling the  
setting of the SURROUND EX parameter produces low-level clicks  
in the front speakers.  
SURROUND MIX  
(-5 to +5dB)  
SUB L/R and SUB L/R LVL  
(OFF, -30 to +12dB)  
SURROUND MIX adjusts the relative level of the surround channels  
that are encoded into the FRONT L/R outputs. The recommended  
setting is +2 to +3dB for all input types.  
SUB L/R (Subwoofer Left/Right) and SUB L/R LVL (Subwoofer  
Left/Right Level) adjust the output level of the SUBWOOFER L/R  
outputs.  
VOCAL ENHANCE  
(+0.0dB, +3.0dB, +6.0dB)  
SURR ROLLOFF  
(500Hz to 20.0kHz, OFF)  
VOCAL ENHANCE adjusts the level of dialog boost in the CENTER  
output. Increasing this level is recommended for listening at lower  
volume levels or for increasing dialog intelligibility.  
SURR ROLLOFF (Surround Rolloff) simulates the high frequency  
rolloff that occurs in real spaces. When set within its 500Hz to  
20kHz range, the unit applies a high-frequency rolloff to the SIDE  
L/R and REAR L/R outputs. When set to OFF, the unit does not apply  
this high-frequency rolloff.  
SURROUND DLY  
(0 to 15ms)  
SURROUND DLY (Surround Delay) increases the perceived depth of  
the listening space by delaying the arrival time of the SIDE L/R and  
REAR L/R outputs. This time delay can be set within a range of 0 to  
15ms. Increasing this time is recommended when a greater sense  
of depth is desired in the listening space.
