Basic Operation JBL Synthesis 2-16Shift-DOLBY•When the Shift command bank is activated, pressing the remote control DOLBY button while a 5.1-channel Dolby Digital input source is present activates the DOLBY DIGITAL EX or DOLBY DIGITAL listening mode. Subsequent presses toggle the EX DECODING parameter, cycling through the AUTO, ON, and OFF settings.Shift-dts•When the Shift command bank is activated, pressing the remote control dts button while a dts(-ES) input source is present toggles the ES DECODING parameter, cycling through the AUTO, ON, and OFF settings.Shift-THX•When the Shift command bank is activated, pressing the remote control THX button while a 5.1-channel Dolby Digital input source is present activates the 5.1 THX, 5.1 THX ULTRA2, or 5.1 THX SurEX listening mode. Refer to page 5-17 for more information. UNDERSTANDING THE ZONESThe SDP-5 features two zones of operation, called the Main Zone and Zone 2. The Main Zone controls audio and video sources in the primary listening space. Zone 2 controls audio and video sources in the secondary listening space. The Main Zone and Zone 2 have separate digital audio receivers and dedicated analog input source selectors that allow for independent input selection in each zone. For instance, the SDP-5 can play a DVD in the Main Zone and a CD in Zone 2 at the same time. The following are exceptions to independent zone operation: 1. The same Dolby Digital or dts(-ES) input source can be selected for the Main Zone and Zone 2 at the same time. However, different Dolby Digital or dts(-ES) input sources cannot be present in both zones at the same time. 2. Zone 2 can provide a 2-channel downmix of Main Zone multi- channel audio when all of the following conditions are met: •The same input must be selected in the Main Zone and Zone 2. •A Dolby Digital or dts(-ES) input source must be present in the Main Zone. •The INPUT SETUP menu ZONE2 IN parameter must be set to DMIX (3-24). 3. The Zone 2 audio output connectors are not available when the 5.1a BYPASS listening mode is activated in the Main Zone and the ZONE2 IN parameter is set to ANLG. However, it is possible to have a 5.1-channel analog input source present in the Main Zone and a digital input source present in Zone 2.
Basic Operation SDP-5 2-17 Zone 2 Two-Line StatusThe Zone 2 two-line status shown at the right indicates the current input, input source, and volume level selected in Zone 2. It appears on the on-screen and front panel displays when the SDP-5 detects a Zone 2 change.STATUS MENUSWhen the Shift command bank is activated, pressing the remote control Stat button opens the STATUS menu for the current input source, which contains parameters that provide information about the current input source and listening mode. STATUS menus are available for 2-channel, Dolby Digital, dts(-ES), and analog input sources. Unlike most other menus, STATUS menus cannot be opened through the selection of menu options. Rather, the remote control Shift, Stat command must be performed. To open and navigate the STATUS menu for the current input source: 1. Press and hold the remote control Shift button. 2. While holding the Shift button, press the remote control Stat button. The first page of the STATUS menu for the current input source will appear on the on-screen and front panel displays. TWO-LINE STATUSThe two-line status provides information about the zone from which the SDP-5 last detected a change in status. The Main Zone two-line status appears when the SDP-5 detects a Main Zone change, and the Zone 2 two-line status appears when the SDP-5 detects a Zone 2 change. The ON-SCREEN DISPLAY menu STATUS (3-49) parameter can be used to control the length of time for which the two-line status appears on the on-screen display. The ON-SCREEN DISPLAY menu POSITION parameter (3-50) can be used to control the position of the two-line status on the on-screen display. Note:When the display device is connected to a component video output connector and the MAIN ADV menu COMPONENT OSD parameter (3-23) is set to OFF, the display device does not show the on-screendisplay, including the two-line status. Main Zone Two-Line StatusThe Main Zone two-line status shown at the right indicates the current input, listening mode, input source, and volume level selected in the Main Zone. It appears on the on-screen and front panel displays when the SDP-5 detects a Main Zone change. DVD1%!DVOL ZONE2 -37dB DVD1%!DVOL L7FILM -37dB

Basic Operation JBL Synthesis 2-22STATUS MENU PARAMETER DESCRIPTIONS 2.0 ENCODING MATRIX, NONE Indicates whether or not a matrix-encoded source is detected. When the parameter setting is MATRIX, a matrix-encoded source is detected. When the parameter setting is NONE, a matrix-encoded source is not detected. The SDP-5 cannot automatically detect matrix encoding in non-flagged input sources. BIT RATE 32 to 640 kbps or 754 to 1509.7kbps Indicates the rate at which the input signal is encoded. A higher bit rate indicates that less compression was used during the encoding process. Possible settings for Dolby Digital sources range from 32 to 640 kbps. Possible settings for dts(-ES) sources range from 754 to 1509.7kbps. CENTER MIX LVL -3.0dB, -4.5dB, -6.0dB Indicates the relative level of the center channel that was used during the mixing process. CHANNELS 3/3.1, 3/2.1, 3/2, 3/1, 2/2, 2/1, 2/0, 1/0 Indicates the number of channels present in the input source. The first digit indicates the number of front channels present. The digit after the slash indicates the number of surround channels present. The digit after the decimal point indicates the presence of LFE (low frequency effects) information. For instance, if the parameter setting is 3/2.1, an input source with three front channels, two surround channels, and LFE information is present. LFE information is sent to the Main Zone audio output connector labeled Subwoofer.Possible settings for Dolby Digital input sources include 3/2.1, 3/2, 3/1, 2/2, 2/1, 2/0, and 1/0. Current settings for dts(-ES) input sources include 3/3.1 and 3/2.1. DIALOG OFFSET -27 to +4dB Indicates the dialog normalization value applied to the input signal. Dolby Digital input sources reproduce dialog at 27 decibels below full-scale (-27dBFS). When the dialog normalization value of the incoming signal is higher or lower, the DIALOG OFFSET parameter indicates the amount of adjustment the SDP-5 makes to normalize dialog to -27dBFS. ES ENCODING DISCRETE, MATRIX, OFF Indicates whether or not a dts-ES-encoded source is detected. When the parameter setting is DISCRETE, a discrete 6.1-channel dts-ES source is detected. When the parameter setting is MATRIX, a 5.1-channel dts-ES source with a surround-encoded back channel is detected. When the parameter setting is NONE, a standard dts source with no dts-ES encoding is detected. EX ENCODING ON, OFF Indicates whether or not a Dolby Digital Surround EX-encoded source is detected. When the parameter setting is MATRIX, a 5.1-channel Dolby Digital source recorded with Dolby Digital Surround EX is detected. When the parameter setting is NONE, a standard 5.1-channel Dolby Digital source recorded without Dolby Digital Surround EX-encoding is detected. The SDP-5 cannot automatically detect Dolby Digital Surround EX encoding in non- flagged input sources. Refer to page 5-19 for more information.
Basic Operation SDP-5 2-23 WORD LENGTH 16bits, 20bits, 24bits Indicates the word length of the audio data present in the input signal. STATUS MENU LEVEL METERSMost STATUS menus contain level meters that indicate fluctuating input levels in the front left (L), center (C), front right (R), surround left (SL), surround right (SR), surround back (SB), and subwoofer (SUB) channels. These level meters indicate input levels for both analog and digital input sources. For instance, the level meters indicate digital audio input levels when a digital audio source is present. Different combinations of level meters appear on each STATUS menu, depending on the source that is present. The SB level meter appears when a 6.1-channel source is present, or when a 5.1-channel source is present and the ES DECODING parameter (5-30) is set to ON. Level meters appear in combinations of green, yellow, and red when the on-screen display is configured for a blue-screen background. Green indicates low levels, yellow indicates normal levels, and red indicates high levels and the onset of overload. Level meters appear in white when the on-screen display is not configured for a blue-screen background. INPUTIndicates the selected input (i.e. DVD1).INPUT TYPE ANLG, BYP, PCM, --- Indicates the input source that is present. When the parameter setting is ANLG, a 2-channel analog audio source is present and the MAIN ADV menu 2-CH ANLG BYP parameter (3-20) is set to OFF. When the parameter setting is BYP (Bypass), a 2-channel analog audio source is present and the 2-CH ANLG BYP parameter is set to ON. When the parameter setting is PCM, a 2-channel digital audio source is present. When the parameter setting is ---, an unknown digital audio source is present. MIX ROOM SMALL, LARGE Indicates the size of the mixing room that was used during the mixing process. When the parameter setting is LARGE, it is recommended to set the RE-EQUALIZATION parameter to ON for THX listening modes. MODEIndicates the activated listening mode (i.e. L7 FILM).SAMPLE RATE 44.1kHz, 48kHz, 88.2kHz, 96kHz Indicates the sample rate of the input source that is present. SURR MIX LVL +0.0dB, -3.0dB, -6.0dB Indicates the relative surround channel level that was used during the mixing process.
