MAIN ADVANCED INPUT SELECT

Controls the interaction of the digital and analog audio input connectors assigned for the selected Main Zone input. The table on the next page describes INPUT SELECT parameter settings.

Note:

When the Shift command bank is activated, the 7/5 button can be used to adjust the INPUT SELECT parameter, cycling through the DIGITAL, ANALOG, and AUTO settings.

ANALOG BYPASS

ON, OFF

SETUP INPUTS DVD1 MAIN ADVANCED ANALOG BYPASS

Allows analog sources to bypass A/D conversion and internal processing. When ON is selected, the SDP-40 passes analog input signals directly to the Main Zone audio output connectors.

When a 2-channel analog source is present, the SDP-40 passes analog input signals directly to the Front L/R output connectors.

When a 5.1-channel analog source is present, the SDP-40 passes analog input signals to the Main Zone audio output connectors as indicated in the table on pages 2-7 and 3-41.

When OFF is selected, the SDP-40 sends analog input signals through A/D conversion and internal processing before passing them to the Main Zone audio output connectors. This allows analog sources to use bass management, speaker crossovers, speaker distance calibration, and audio controls (tone controls).

Note:

When the Shift command bank is activated, pressing the 2CH button toggles the ANALOG BYPASS parameter between the ON and OFF settings.

S-VIDEO 16:9

AUTO, OFF

SETUP INPUTS DVD1 MAIN ADVANCED S-VIDEO 16:9

Controls the passage of anamorphic trigger signals present in some video sources. When AUTO is selected, the SDP-40 passes anamorphic video input signals through the S-video switcher, enabling compatible display devices to automatically switch between anamorphic and non-anamorphic display modes.

When OFF is selected, the SDP-40 does not pass anamorphic video input signals through the S-video switcher, preventing compatible display devices from automatically switching between anamorphic and non-anamorphic display modes.
