SDP-40

Basic Operation

1The Power Switch disconnects power to the AC input connector.

2The AC Input Connector provides power to the unit via the supplied power cord (3 wire, 10 amp, IEC 320).

3The VIDEO INPUTS provide video input in the Main and Record Zones. Eight S-video, five composite video, and four component video inputs are available in the Main Zone. All can be assigned in the INPUT SETUP menu (see page 3-3). S-video and composite video inputs are available in the Record Zone.

4The AUDIO INPUTS provide analog audio input in all zones. Eight stereo analog input pairs labeled 1 to 8 are available. Pairs 6, 7, and 8 can be configured as a 5.1-channel analog input. These pairs function as (L)/(R), (C)/(SUB), and (LS)/(RS) when the 5.1-channel analog input is selected (see page 3-30).

5The MAIN AUDIO OUTPUTS provide analog audio output in the Main Zone. Ten outputs labeled FRONT L/R, CENTER, LFE, SUBWOOFER L/R, SIDE L/R, and REAR L/R are available. The AUX L/R outputs are reserved for future expansion.

6The balanced MAIN and ZONE 2 AUDIO OUTPUTS provide analog audio output in the Main Zone and Zone 2. Ten outputs labeled FRONT L/R, CENTER, LFE, SUBWOOFER L/R, SIDE L/R, and REAR L/R are available in the Main Zone. The AUX L/R outputs are reserved for future expansion. Two connectors labeled ZONE 2 L/R are available as a variable stereo output for Zone 2.

7The MAIN VIDEO OUTPUTS provide video output in the Main Zone. One component (BNC), two composite, and two S-video outputs are available. The component video output is only available when component video inputs are used. Composite video outputs are available when composite or S-video inputs are used. S-video outputs are only available when S-video inputs are used. Output 1 (OSD) incorporates the on-screen display; output 2 does not.

8The ZONE 2 AUDIO OUTPUTS provide analog audio output in Zone 2. Two stereo outputs (one fixed, one variable) are available. The variable output includes a built-in volume control; the fixed output does not.

9The RECORD AUDIO and VIDEO OUTPUTS provide audio and video output in the Record Zone. Two composite, two S-video, two analog stereo (one fixed, one variable), one S/PDIF coaxial, and one S/PDIF optical outputs are available.

Note:

When analog input sources are used, the ZONE 2 and RECORD AUDIO OUTPUTS are about 2dB higher than the MAIN AUDIO OUTPUTS labelled FRONT L/R. When digital input sources are used, the ZONE 2 and RECORD AUDIO OUTPUTS are about 8dB higher than the MAIN AUDIO OUTPUTS labelled FRONT L/R. This is to accommodate THX level requirements.

10The AES/EBU and S/PDIF INPUTS provide digital audio input. One AES/EBU, six S/PDIF coaxial, and six S/PDIF optical (including one optical mini jack) inputs are available.
