ANLG IN LVL

-18 to +12dB

SETUP INPUTS DVD1 RECORD ADVANCED ANLG IN LVL

Allows adjustment of analog audio input levels for input signals sent to the Record Zone digital audio output connectors. The SDP-40 applies these adjustments to input signals before passing them to the Record Zone digital audio output connectors. This parameter can be adjusted when an input source is present to prevent the internal A/D converter from overloading.

DIGITAL BYPASS

ON, OFF

SETUP INPUTS DVD1 RECORD ADVANCED DIGITAL BYPASS

Allows digital sources to bypass sample rate conversion for direct digital recording. When ON is selected, the SDP-40 passes digital input signals directly to the Record Zone digital audio output connectors, preserving the original sample rate of the input signal. When OFF is selected, the SDP-40 sends digital input signals through sample rate conversion before passing them to the Record Zone digital audio output connectors, allowing the sample rate of the output signal to match the sample rate of the recording device.

Note:

DIG OUT RATE parameter settings have no effect when the DIGITAL BYPASS parameter is set to ON.

DIG OUT RATE INPUT, 44.1kHz, 48kHz, 88.2kHz, 96kHz

SETUP INPUTS DVD1 RECORD ADVANCED DIG OUT RATE

Controls the sample rate of digital and analog input signals sent to the Record Zone digital audio output connectors. When INPUT is selected, the SDP-40 does not send input signals through sample rate conversion before passing them to the Record Zone digital audio output connectors, preserving the original sample rate of the input signal.

When a value is selected, the SDP-40 passes input signals through sample rate conversion before passing them to the Record Zone digital audio output connectors, converting the sample rate of the input signal to the selected value. It is recommended to set the DIG OUT RATE parameter to the appropriate value when using a recording format that operates on a single sample rate, such as CD-R format (44.1kHz).

RECORD

BLOCKED, ENABLED

SETUP INPUTS DVD1 RECORD ADVANCED RECORD

Prevents recording device feedback loops. When BLOCKED is selected, the SDP-40 blocks the Record Zone audio output connectors to prevent feedback loops. However, the SDP-40 still passes video input signals to the Record Zone video output connectors. When ENABLED is selected, the SDP-40 passes audio and video input signals to the Record Zone audio and video output connectors.
