USING THE DOCUMENTATION

The SDP-40 has many impressive features. It is designed to be customized to individual systems and listening spaces. For these reasons, the information contained in this user guide is extensive.

Refer to this documentation for assistance with installation, calibration, and operation of the unit. Settings that are reached during the calibration process can be recorded on the installation worksheet located in the Appendix (see page A-12).

SETUP INPUTS DVD1 NAME

Represents a menu path. The steps in grey boxes illustrate a series of selections that must be made to reach the destination in the black box. In the example above, the SETUP, INPUTS, and DVD1 options must be selected to reach the NAME menu.

LOCATION CONSIDERATIONS

The unit requires special care during installation to ensure optimal performance. The unit should be installed on a shelf or in a standard 19” equipment rack using the enclosed optional rack-mount kit.

CAUTION

Observe the following precautions when installing the unit:

•Select a dry, well-ventilated location out of direct sunlight.

•Do not stack the unit directly above heat-producing equipment, such as power amplifiers.

•Avoid placing the unit near unshielded TV or FM antennas, cable TV decoders, and other RF emitting devices. If placed in close proximity to the unit, these devices may cause interference.

•Do not obstruct the front panel IR Receiver window (see pages 2-2 and 2-6 for illustrations). The remote control must be in line-of-sight with the receiver for proper operation. If line-of- sight is impractical, an infrared remote system can be used with the rear panel IR IN connector. The unit can be placed inside a glass cabinet. However, smoked glass will reduce the range of the remote control as well as the readability of the front panel display.

NAVIGATING THE MENUS

The remote control must be used to navigate through the extensive menu structure (see

page 2-8 for more information about the remote control). Pressing the MENU button

accesses the MAIN MENU (pictured at the

right), which can be used to access the three primary menus: MODE ADJUST, AUDIO CONTROLS, and SETUP. These menus are discussed in Sections 5, 4, and 3. The complete menu structure is illustrated in the Appendix, beginning on page A-5.
