PREFERRED LISTENING MODE SELECTION PARAMETERS

The INPUT SETUP menus include three preferred listening mode selection parameters labeled 2-CH, DOLBY D, and dts-ES. These parameters can be used to select a preferred listening mode for 2-channel, Dolby Digital, and dts(-ES) input sources. The SDP-5 automatically activates the selected listening mode whenever a new input is selected or a new input source is present. Refer to page 3-13 for more information.

MODE AND BUTTONS

The front panel and remote control Mode and buttons can be used to audition listening modes with the current Main Zone input source. Pressing these buttons scrolls upward ( ) and downward ( ) through listening modes available for the current Main Zone source. Listening modes are scrolled in the order that appears on the MODE ADJUST menu (5-2).

For example, if a 2-channel input source is present, the Mode and buttons scroll through available 2-channel listening modes. The selected listening mode appears in the bottom-left corner of the Main Zone two-line status (2-20).

MODE FAMILY SELECTION BUTTONS

The remote control mode family selection buttons can be used to activate the LOGIC7 Film, Dolby, dts(-ES), THX, LOGIC7 Music, or LOGIC7 TV listening mode that is appropriate for the Main Zone input source. For instance, if the L7 button is pressed while a 2-channel source is present, the L7 FILM listening mode is activated. The table at the top of the next column indicates the listening modes associated with each mode family selection button.
