DOLBY PLII MOVIE DOLBY DIGITAL* dts(-ES)* 2-Channel Sources Dolby Digital Sources dts(-ES) Sources SETUP SDP-5 3-41DACS CALIBRATIONOpens the DACS CALIBRATION menu shown above, which can be used to adjust output levels while DACS calibration is conducted. DACS calibration requires an external calibration source, such as an audio calibration disc or, in JBL Synthesis systems, the DACS ®(JBL Digital Acoustical Calibration System). An audio calibration disc can be used with the DACS. To optimize systems that include DACS and a JBL Digital Equalizer: 1. Connect the DACS Signal Generator left and right output connectors labeled EVP-1 to the SDP-5 analog audio input connectors labeled 1. These connectors are active in the TAPE input. 2. Set the master volume level to 0dB. This will provide the correct signal path and reference output level.

The table in the next column indicates the listening mode that is activated for each input source. When a listening mode is activated during DACS calibration, it retains its factory-default settings, ignoring custom settings that might have been selected on the corresponding listening mode menu. Custom settings will be restored after DACS calibration is complete.
SETUP JBL Synthesis 3-423. When the desired parameter is highlighted, press the arrow to select this parameter. A horizontal bar graph will open on the on-screen and front panel displays. 4. When the horizontal bar graph opens, follow the instructions on page 2-11 to adjust the selected parameter. When the SPL meter is set to “C” weighting and “SLOW” response, output levels should be adjusted to achieve a 75dB SPL meter reading from the primary listening position. When the SPL meter is not set to “C” weighting and “SLOW” response, output levels should be adjusted to achieve the appropriate SPL meter reading from the primary listening position. 5. When the desired adjustments have been made, press the arrow to close the horizontal bar graph and return to the SPEAKER LEVEL ADJUST or DACS CALIBRATION menu. When the internal noise test is conducted, the internal noise test will continue, and automatic scrolling will resume.

SETUP JBL Synthesis 3-44BASS PEAK LIMITEROpens the BASS PEAK LIMITER menu shown above, which can be used to set amplitude limits for all speakers to which low frequencies are redirected, including the subwoofer. The SDP-5 is equipped with an internal limiter that prevents low- frequency output signals from exceeding a designated level. This is essential for Dolby Digital and dts(-ES) input sources that produce low-frequency peaks at much higher levels than 2-channel sources. In home theaters, the subwoofer and its associated amplifier might not be able to reproduce these levels without overloading. Default PossibleParameter Setting SettingsCAL NOISE ON ON, OFFSUB LIMITER OFF ON, OFFSUB LIMIT ADJ 100dB 75 to 120dB BASS PEAK LIMITER LEVELS CALIBRATION SPEAKERS SETUP CAL NOISE ON, OFF Determines whether the bass peak limiter is set with an internal or external source. When set to ON, the SDP-5 activates an internal calibration noise signal to set the limiter. When set to OFF, the SDP-5 deactivates the internal calibration noise test signal. An external calibration source such as an audio calibration disc is required to generate a noise signal to set the bass peak limiter.CAL NOISE BASS PEAK LIMITER LEVELS CALIBRATION SPEAKERS SETUP MAIN MENU MODE ADJUST AUDIO CONTROLS SETUPSETUP SETUP INPUTS SPEAKERS REAR PANEL CONFIG DISPLAYS VOLUME CONTROLS TRIGGER LOCK OPTIONSSPEAKERS SPEAKER SETUP CUSTOM SETUP SYNTHESIS 7CH SETUP SPEAKER DISTANCES LEVELS CALIBRATION80Hz 80Hz80Hz 80Hz 80Hz 80Hz 80Hz 80HzL M SUBRC SL SR RLRR LEVELS CALIBRATION LEVELS CALIBRATION INTERNAL NOISE TEST DACS CALIBRATION BASS PEAK LIMITERBASS PEAK LIMITER BASS PEAK LIMITER CAL NOISE ON SUB LIMITER OFF SUB LIMIT ADJ 100dB !CAUTION!
