SELECTING PREFERRED LISTENING MODES (continued)

The Use Last Parameter

When the SDP-40HD is set to use a preferred listening mode for a selected input, selecting another mode from the Mode scroll list replaces the preferred selection. However, this newly selected mode will be lost when switching between inputs.

The USE LAST parameter was designed to allow the SDP-40HD software to “remember” the last used listening mode for a given input source. Once selected, that mode will always be active on the corresponding input until another listening mode is selected as demonstrated in the following example:

1. Select Main Menu SETUP INPUTS DVD1

USE

LAST.

 

2.Press the MENU button.

3.Press the DVD-1button.

4.Play a DTS input source.

5.Press the MODE + button until you reach DTS(-ES) 2-CHAN.

6.Press the TV button

The SDP-40HD switches to the TV input and the on-screen display identifies the preferred listening mode.

7.Press the DVD-1button.

The on-screen display should identify that the active listening mode for the DVD1 input is still DTS(-ES) 2-CHAN. As the DTS(-ES) 2-CHAN mode is a preferred listening mode, it can also be set in the SETUP menu.

When seven speakers are selected in the SPEAKER SETUP menu, and the appropriate source material is played, the dynamic listening mode (or mode that does not appear in the input setup menu) can

always be accessed using the MODE + or MODE - buttons whether or not a preferred mode is set. When a preferred listening mode is set and a dynamic listening mode (or mode that does not appear in the input setup menu) is active, the selected dynamic mode is lost when switching between inputs.

When USE LAST is selected as the preferred listening mode, and a dynamic listening mode (or mode that does not appear in the input setup menu) is active, the selected listening mode is retained when switching between inputs, even when the SDP-40HD is set to standby as in the following example:

1. Select Main Menu SETUP INPUTS DVD1 2-CH USE LAST.

2.Press the MENU button.

3.Press the DVD-1button.

4.Play a 2-channel input source.

5.Press the MODE + button until you reach PLIIx MOV.

PLIIx MOV is a dynamic listening mode.

6.Press the TV button

The SDP-40HD switches to the TV input and the on-screen display identifies the preferred listening mode.

7.Press the DVD-1button.

The on-screen display should identify that the active listening mode

for the DVD1 input is still PLIIx MOV. This is the only method of setting up a dynamic mode (or mode that does not appear in the input setup menu) to behave like a preferred listening mode.
