SETUP SDP-5 3-7DIGITAL IN COAX-1 to 4, OPTICAL-1 to 4, NONE Opens the DIGITAL IN menu shown above, which can be used to assign a digital audio input connector for the selected input. The SDP-5 has eight configurable inputs, each of which can be assigned to any of its eight digital audio input connectors. Note:The digital audio input connectors are compatible with PCM (44.1, 48, 88.2, and 96kHz), Dolby Digital, and dts(-ES) sources. The digital audio input connectors are not compatible with MPEG (MP3)sources. DIGITAL IN DVD1 INPUTS SETUP Please note the following: •When no digital audio input connector is assigned, the SDP-5 will automatically set the MAIN ADV menu INPUT SELECT parameter to ANALOG (3-18). •A digital audio input connector must be assigned when no analog audio input connector is assigned.

Please note the following: •When no analog audio input connector is assigned, the SDP-5 will automatically set the MAIN ADV menu INPUT SELECT parameter to DIGITAL (3-18). •An analog audio input connector must be assigned when no digital audio input connector is assigned. Refer to the previous page for information about assigning a digital audio input connector.ANALOG IN ANALOG-1 to 8, 5.1 ANLG (3-5) or (6-8), NONE Opens the ANALOG IN menu shown above, which can be used to assign an analog audio input connector for the selected input. The SDP-5 has eight configurable inputs, each of which can be assigned to any of its eight analog audio input connectors. The appearance of the ANALOG IN menu depends on the configuration of the analog audio input connectors. •The ANALOG IN menu labeled A (above) appears when the REAR PANEL CONFIG menu 8 STEREO INPUTS option (3-45) is selected. •The ANALOG IN menu labeled B (above) appears when the REAR PANEL CONFIG menu 5 ST. & (1) 5.1 ANLG option (3-45) is selected.

SETUP SDP-5 3-9ANLG IN LVLOpens the ANLG IN LVL menu shown above, which can be used to adjust 2-channel analog audio input levels for the selected input. Despite attempts at standardization, analog audio sources have a wide range of levels. To compensate for this, the SDP-5 allows independent input level adjustment for each of its stereo analog audio input connectors. Input level adjustment is not available for either of the 5.1-channel analog audio input connectors. Note:Adjustments made on the ANLG IN LVL menu are applied to the stereo analog audio input connector assigned for the selected input. When another stereo analog audio input connector is assigned, these adjustments are automatically applied to the newconnector. ANLG IN LVL DVD1 INPUTS SETUP AUTO ON, OFF Provides automatic adjustment of 2-channel analog audio input levels. When set to ON, the SDP-5 automatically monitors and optimizes input levels. When the input signal is too high, the SDP-5 quickly decreases input levels to avoid overload. When the input signal is too low, the SDP-5 slowly increases input levels to maximize the signal-to-noise ratio and dynamic range. When the AUTO parameter is set to OFF, the SDP-5 does not provide automatic adjustment of 2-channel analog audio input levels. Rather, input levels must be adjusted with the ANLG IN LVL MANUAL parameter (next page). . . .

SETUP JBL Synthesis 3-10 AUTO GAINIndicates the current amount of input level adjustment for the selected stereo analog audio input connector. When the ANLG IN LVL menu AUTO parameter is set to ON, the AUTO GAIN parameter indicates the amount of automatic input level adjustment. When the AUTO parameter is set to OFF, the AUTO GAIN parameter indicates the amount of manual input level adjustment. (In other words, the AUTO GAIN parameter reflects the setting of the ANLG IN LVL menu MANUAL parameter.) When the AUTO parameter is set to ON, the AUTO GAIN parameter continues to indicate the amount of manual input level adjustment until automatic adjustments have been made. AUTO GAIN ANLG IN LVL DVD1 INPUTS SETUP MANUAL -18 to +12dB Provides manual adjustment of 2-channel analog audio input levels. When manualadjustments are made, the SDP-5 automatically sets the ANLG IN LVL menu AUTO parameter to OFF and deactivates automatic input level adjustment. Manual input level adjustments are retained when the AUTO parameter is set to ON. Note:When the AUTO parameter is set to ON, the SDP-5 will not make adjustments that exceed the ANLG INLVL menu MANUAL parameter setting.
