SDP-5

SPEECH DETECT ON, OFF
Distinguishes monaural speech from other input sources. When set
to ON, effects are lowered to minimize interference and unnatural
echo in monaural speech. When stereo input sources are
present, the front left and right channels are independently used as
inputs for ambience synthesis. When strong monaural speech is
present in the input source, the monaural component of the
ambience effect is reduced and the stereo component of the effect
is increased. When set to OFF, the amount of ambience synthesis is
dynamically controlled.
SUB LEVEL OFF, -30 to +12dB
Controls the output level of the Main Zone audio output
connector labeled Subwoofer. The SUB LEVEL parameter appears
on listening mode menus when the listening mode does not
accommodate multi-channel output signals.
SUBWOOFER OFF, -30 to +12dB
Controls the output level of the Main Zone audio output
connector labeled Subwoofer.
SURR ROLLOFF 500Hz to 20.0kHz, OFF
Applies high-frequency attenuation control to the Main Zone audio
output connectors labeled Side L/R and Rear L/R. This filter is only
applied to output signals generated by the SDP-5.

SURROUND DLY 0 to 15ms
Increases the perceived depth of the listening space by delaying
the arrival time of signals from the side and rear speakers. It is
recommended to increase the setting when a greater sense of
depth is desired in the listening space.
SURROUND EX AUTO, ON, OFF
Controls the THX Surround EX decoding feature, which can be
used to extract a rear channel from 5.1-channel Dolby Digital
sources.
•When set to ON, THX Surround EX decoding is engaged for all
5.1-channel Dolby Digital sources.
When set to OFF, THX Surround EX decoding is not engaged
for all 5.1-channel Dolby Digital sources.
When set to AUTO, THX Surround EX decoding is engaged
when a flagged 5.1-channel Dolby Digital source with THX
Surround EX encoding is detected. THX Surround EX decoding
is not engaged when a non-flagged 5.1-channel Dolby Digital
source with or without THX Surround EX encoding is detected.
The SDP-5 cannot automatically detect THX Surround EX
encoding in non-flagged 5.1-channel Dolby Digital sources. A
non-flagged source does not include information in the input
signal that identifies THX Surround EX encoding.
The 5.1 THX SurEX listening mode is available when THX Surround
EX decoding is engaged. The 5.1 THX and 5.1 THX ULTRA2
listening modes are available when THX Surround EX decoding is
not engaged. THX Surround EX decoding cannot be engaged
unless both side and rear speakers are present. Refer to page 5-16
for more information.
