    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.

    *These listening mode names differ depending on the input source, the speaker
    configuration, and certain parameter settings.When DACS calibration is conducted, the SDP-5 activates a
    listening mode based on the Main Zone input source that is
    present. 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.

    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.

    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.

    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
