the last radio station tuned
the band (AM or FM)
the preset number assigned to that station (if any)
2 Press CHANNEL/PRESETST on the front of the DCP501, or channel up/down on the remote

Sound Effects

The DCP501 has many sound effects that can be selected and stored. When the SOURCE is CATV,
cable TV providers may be using analog or Dolby Digital audio. The DCP501 allows you to select
and store a favorite sound effect for each. On any other SOURCE, the DCP501 stores one analog
sound effect for each SOURCE and one Dolby Digital sound effect that is used on all non-CATV
SOURCES. Stored sound effects will be automatically selected by the DCP501 when returning to
that SOURCE. Some sound effects can only be used on analog (or PCM) audio, and some only on
Dolby Digital audio. The dts sound effect can only be used on dts audio. The following sound
effects can be used on analog (or PCM) audio.
Dolby Pro Logic II (movie, music)
Dolby Pro Logic
Dolby 3-Stereo
Stereo
Six DSP sound effects (Stadium, Concert, Theater, Arena, Club, Church)
The following sound effects can be used on Dolby Digital audio:
Dolby Digital
Dolby D+3Stereo
Dolby D+Stereo
Dolby D+PL II (movie, music, & emulation)
Dolby Pro Logic II (Dolby D+PL II) is a special case. Dolby D+PL II can only be used on
Dolby Digital audio if the signal is a Dolby Digital 2.0 signal. Sound effects selected on a
Dolby Digital 2.0 signal are stored separately from other selected Dolby Digital audio sound
effects, and will be automatically selected by the DCP501 when returning to that signal.
To operate the DCP501 audio mode:
1 Press audio MODE and the currently selected surround sound mode is displayed on the TV
and the DCP501 display.
2 Press audio MODE repeatedly to cycle through all available surround sound and DSP modes.
