LISTENING MODE MENU PARAMETER DESCRIPTIONS

5 SPKR ENHANCE ON, OFF

Simulates 7-channel playback in 5-channel speaker setups. When ON is selected, the SDP-40 provides an increased sense of spaciousness and envelopment through the surround speakers. This enhancement is most noticeable when the surround speakers are positioned to the sides of the primary listening position or when the primary listening position is located against the rear wall. The effectiveness of this parameter varies within the listening space. For best results, it is recommended to position the surround speakers to the left and right sides of the primary listening position.

ACADEMY FILTER ON, OFF

Selecting the ON setting restores the proper tonal balance of older mono film sources that have much narrower frequency responses than more recent mono film sources.

AUTO AZIMUTH ON, OFF

Maximizes matrix steering accuracy. When ON is selected, the SDP- 40 continually monitors 2-channel input signals and automatically adjusts the relative level and time offset of the input channels to ensure that signals are sent to the appropriate channels with maximum separation. When OFF is selected, the accuracy of the selected listening mode varies among input sources. It is recommended to set this parameter to ON for film and broadcast sources and to OFF for music sources.

BASS CONTENT BINAURL, MONO, STEREO

Adjusts the bass content of binaural, mono, and stereo recordings. When set to BINAURL, the SDP-40 activates low-frequency compensation. Select this setting for true binaural sources recorded with dummy head microphones. Select the MONO setting for input sources recorded with mono bass. Select the STEREO setting for input sources recorded with stereo bass.
