Basic Operation
SDP-5
2-23
WORD LENGTH 16bits, 20bits, 24bits
Indicates the word length of the audio data present in the input
signal.
STATUS MENU LEVEL METERS
Most STATUS menus contain level meters that indicate fluctuating
input levels in the front left (L), center (C), front right (R), surround
left (SL), surround right (SR), surround back (SB), and subwoofer
(SUB) channels. These level meters indicate input levels for both
analog and digital input sources. For instance, the level meters
indicate digital audio input levels when a digital audio source is
present.
Different combinations of level meters appear on each STATUS
menu, depending on the source that is present. The SB level meter
appears when a 6.1-channel source is present, or when a
5.1-channel source is present and the ES DECODING parameter
(5-30) is set to ON.
Level meters appear in combinations of green, yellow, and red
when the on-screen display is configured for a blue-screen
background. Green indicates low levels, yellow indicates normal
levels, and red indicates high levels and the onset of overload. Level
meters appear in white when the on-screen display is not
configured for a blue-screen background.
INPUT
Indicates the selected input (i.e. DVD1).
INPUT TYPE ANLG, BYP, PCM, ---
Indicates the input source that is present. When the parameter
setting is ANLG, a 2-channel analog audio source is present and the
MAIN ADV menu 2-CH ANLG BYP parameter (3-20) is set to OFF.
When the parameter setting is BYP (Bypass), a 2-channel analog
audio source is present and the 2-CH ANLG BYP parameter is set to
ON. When the parameter setting is PCM, a 2-channel digital audio
source is present. When the parameter setting is ---, an unknown
digital audio source is present.
MIX ROOM SMALL, LARGE
Indicates the size of the mixing room that was used during the
mixing process. When the parameter setting is LARGE, it is
recommended to set the RE-EQUALIZATION parameter to ON for
THX listening modes.
MODE
Indicates the activated listening mode (i.e. L7 FILM).
SAMPLE RATE 44.1kHz, 48kHz, 88.2kHz, 96kHz
Indicates the sample rate of the input source that is present.
SURR MIX LVL +0.0dB, -3.0dB, -6.0dB
Indicates the relative surround channel level that was used during
the mixing process.
