SDP-5

MODE ADJUST

BASS RT 5ms to 48.6s

Works with the MID RT and SIZE parameters to adjust the amount of time required for low-frequency information to decay below 60dB in level. The BASS RT parameter setting should match the MID RT parameter setting for more natural effects in smaller listening spaces.

CAUTION Setting the BASS RT, MID RT, and SIZE parameters to a high value may produce undesirable or damaging audio.

CALIBRATION

Opens the PANORAMA listening mode CALIBRATION menu, which can be used to calibrate the PANORAMA listening mode. Refer to page 5-11 for more information.

CENTER				OFF, -30 to +12dB
MODE ADJUST	(Listening Mode)	OUTPUT LEVELS	CENTER

Controls the output level of the Main Zone audio output connector labeled Center.

CENTER DEPTH 0 to 18

Adjusts the amount of processing applied to the center channel, changing the perceived distance of the center speaker. Higher settings increase and lower settings decrease the perceived distance of the center speaker from the listening position.

CENTER MIX -25 to +5dB

Indicates the relative center channel level for downmixing. It is recommended to set this parameter to +0dB for film sources and -5dB for music sources.

CNTR DLY SAMPLES -127 to +127

Controls the relative time offset of the center channel. It is recommended to set this parameter to +0 unless the center channel is not properly timed and the value of the error is known.

COMPRESSION AUTO, ON, OFF

Reduces wide volume level changes and increases dialog intelligibility at lower listening levels for Dolby Digital input sources. When set to ON, full compression is applied regardless of volume level. When set to OFF, compression is not applied. It is recommended to set this parameter to AUTO or ON for Dolby Digital input sources that are listened to at lower volume levels, especially for night time viewing to avoid disturbing others.

CTR WIDTH MIN, 1 to 6, MAX

Adjusts the center image. When set to MIN, the center image is heard from just the center speaker. When set to MAX, the center image is heard from just the front left and right speakers as a “phantom” center image. When set on the 1 to 6 scale, the center image is heard in various combinations of the front and center speakers.

CUSTOM

MODE ADJUST (Listening Mode) CUSTOM

Opens the CUSTOM menu, which can be used to compare custom and factory-default versions of the selected listening mode and to restore the factory default version of the selected listening mode.
