SETUP SDP-5 3-21S-VIDEO 16:9 AUTO, OFF Controls the passage of anamorphic trigger signals present in some video sources. When set to AUTO, the SDP-5 allows anamorphic video input signals to pass through the S-video switcher, enabling compatible display devices to automatically switch between anamorphic and non-anamorphic display modes. When set to OFF, the SDP-5 prevents anamorphic video input signals from passing through the S-video switcher, preventing compatible display devices from automatically switching between anamorphic and non-anamorphic display modes. . . .

SETUP JBL Synthesis 3-22 Note:The on-screen display appears horizontally stretched across the display device screen when all of the fol- lowing conditions are met: •The S-VIDEO OSD (4:3) parameter is set to OFF. •An anamorphic video input signal is present. •A 16:9 display device (widescreen) is connected to an S-video output connector. S-VIDEO OSD 4:3 ON, OFF Controls the appearance of the on-screen display when the display device is connected to an S-video output connector. When set to ON, the display device shows the on-screen display in a 4:3 aspect ratio* regardless of the incoming signal. When set to OFF, the display device shows the on-screen display in the same aspect ratio as the input signal. *Aspect ratio refers to the size of the picture on the display device screen or to the size of the display device screen. A 4:3 aspect ratio is almost square. A 16:9 aspect ratio, often referred to as “widescreen,” is almost twice as wide as high.

SETUP JBL Synthesis 3-24ZONE2 IN DIGITAL, ANLG, DMIX Controls the interaction of the digital and analog audio input connectors assigned to the selected Zone 2 input.The INPUT SETUP menu can be used to assign one digital and one analog audio input connector for the selected input. Refer to pages 3-7 and 3-8 for more information. The table shown on the next page describes ZONE2 IN parameter settings.

DIGITAL ANLG DMIX When the ZONE2 IN parameter is set to DIGITAL or ANLG, the SDP-5 recognizes some dts-encoded input sources as audio signals (not data signals) and outputs loud digital noise from the Zone 2 audio output connectors. CAUTION
DIGITAL ANLG (Analog) DMIX (Downmix) SETUP SDP-5 3-25The SDP-5 automatically sets the ZONE2 IN parameter to DIGITAL when the ANALOG IN parameter is set to NONE. •The SDP-5 sends the assigned digital audio input connector to the Zone 2 audio output connectors. The SDP-5 ignores the assigned analog audio input connector. •Independent zone monitoring is available. •The DIGITAL IN parameter (3-7) can be used to assign a digital audio input connector for the selected input.The SDP-5 automatically sets the ZONE2 IN parameter to ANLG when the DIGITAL IN parameter is set to NONE. •The SDP-5 sends the assigned analog audio input connector to the Zone 2 audio output connectors. The SDP-5 ignores the assigned digital audio input connector. •Independent zone monitoring is available. •The ANALOG IN parameter (3-8) can be used to assign an analog audio input connector for the selected input.Set the ZONE2 IN parameter to DMIX to send a downmixed version of Main Zone audio to the Zone 2 audio output connectors. Downmixes can be generated for Dolby Digital and dts(-ES) sources. •To generate a downmix, the same input must be selected in the Main Zone and Zone 2. Otherwise, the Zone 2 audio output connectors will mute. •Main Zone listening mode activation affects the Zone 2 audio output connectors. For instance, when the MONO listening mode is activated in the Main Zone, the Zone 2 audio output connectors will generate mono output signals. •Downmixes cannot be generated when the 5.1a BYPASS listening mode is activated in the Main Zone. However, when the ZONE2 IN parameter is set to DMIX, the signals from the Main Zone audio output connectors labeled Front L/R are sent to Zone 2. Signals from other Main Zone audio output connectors are ignored. •Independent zone monitoring is NOTavailable. •It is recommended to set the ZONE2 IN parameter to DMIX when recording from a DVD player without built-in Dolby Digital or dts-ES decoding to a VCR or PVR (i.e. Tivo ®or Replay TV ®). •The SDP-5 automatically uses LOGIC7 encoding to downmix multi-channel input sources (except 5.1-channel analog sources) to LOGIC7-encoded stereo output signals for listening and recording. LOGIC7-encoded downmixes are compatible with matrix decoders, but will sound best when played back through a LOGIC7 listening mode. ZONE2 IN Parameter SettingsThe table below describes ZONE2 IN parameter settings.
SETUP JBL Synthesis 3-26CUSTOM SPEAKER SETUPSSelecting the SPEAKER SETUP menu CUSTOM SETUP option opens the CUSTOM SETUP menu shown above, which can be used to configure the Main Zone audio output connectors for a custom speaker setup. The CUSTOM SETUP menu allows the selection of independent crossover points for each Main Zone audio output connector. Refer to the the paragraph below for more information about determining crossover points.Determining Crossover PointsThe CUSTOM SETUP menu shown above can be used to assign independent crossover points for each Main Zone audio output connector. Crossover points can be selected in 10Hz increments CUSTOM SETUP SPEAKERS SETUPSPEAKER SETUPSelecting the SETUP menu SPEAKERS option opens the SPEAKER SETUP menu shown below, which can be used to configure the Main Zone audio output connectors for the desired speaker setup, set speaker distances, and calibrate output levels. The SDP-5 has eight Main Zone audio output connectors labeled Front L/R, Center, Subwoofer, Side L/R, and Rear L/R. SPEAKER SETUP SPEAKERS SETUP within a 30 to 120Hz range. With the exception of THX 80Hz, all crossover points activate a 24dB-per-octave filter. The graphs on the next page indicate the frequency response of these crossover points. The THX 80Hz crossover point activates a 12dB-per-octave filter for the Main Zone audio output connectors labeled Front L/R, Center, Side L/R, and Rear L/R, and a 24dB-per-octave filter for the Main Zone audio output connector labeled Subwoofer. For each Main Zone audio output connector, select the crossover point closest to the low-frequency rating of the associated speaker. For the output connector labeled Subwoofer, select the crossover point equal to the lowest crossover point of the other speakers.

SETUP SDP-5 3-27Highpass Filter Highpass filters attenuate low frequencies at 24dB per octave. The curves in the graph above indicate the frequency response of each crossover setting. From left to right, the curves represent crossover settings from 30 to 120Hz. The graph above does not show the THX 80Hz crossover point, which is 12dB per octave. Lowpass Filter Lowpass filters attenuate high frequencies at 24dB per octave. The curves in the graph above indicate the frequency response of each crossover setting. From left to right, the curves represent crossover settings from 30 to 120Hz. In general, low frequencies will be redirected from speakers with the highest crossover points to speakers with the lowest crossover points. Low-frequency signals lower than the lowest crossover point will be redirected to the subwoofer. If the lowest crossover point is FULL, low- frequency signals, excluding LFE information, will not be redirected to the subwoofer. . . . Custom Speaker Setups continues on page 3-28
