The SDP-40 sends the assigned digital
audio input connector to the Zone 2 or
Record Zone audio output connectors.
The SDP-40 ignores the assigned analog
audio input connector. Independent
zone monitoring is available.
Note the following:
• The SDP-40 passes digital sources
to all Zone 2 or Record Zone
audio output connectors.
• The SDP-40 passes digital input
signals directly to the Record Zone
digital audio output connectors.
The SDP-40 sends digital input
signals through D/A conversion
before passing them to the Zone 2
or Record Zone analog audio
output connectors.
• The SDP-40 automatically sets
the ZONE2 or RECORD IN
parameter to DIGITAL when no
analog audio input connector is
assigned.
• The INPUT SETUP menu DIGITAL
IN parameter can be used to assign
a digital audio input connector
for the selected input.
The SDP-40 sends the assigned ana-
log audio input connector to the Zone
2 or Record Zone audio output con-
nectors. The SDP-40 ignores the
assigned digital audio input connec-
tor. Independent zone monitoring is
available.
Note the following:
• The SDP-40 passes analog
sources to all Zone 2 or Record
Zone audio output connectors.
• The SDP-40 passes analog input
signals directly to the Zone 2 or
Record Zone analog audio output
connectors. The SDP-40 sends
analog input signals through A/D
conversion before passing them
to the Record Zone digital audio
output connectors.
• The SDP-40 automatically sets
the ZONE2 or RECORD IN
parameter to ANLG when no dig-
ital audio input connector is
assigned.
• The INPUT SETUP menu ANALOG
IN parameter can be used to assign
an analog audio input connector
for the selected input.
The SDP-40 sends a downmixed version of Main Zone audio to the Zone 2
or Record Zone audio output connectors. Independent zone monitoring is
not available. Downmixing is available when all of the following conditions
are met:
• The same input must be selected in the Main Zone and Zone 2 or in
the Main Zone and the Record Zone. Otherwise, the Zone 2 or Record
Zone audio output connectors will mute.
•A Dolby Digital or dts(-ES) source must be present.
• The 5.1a BYPASS listening mode must not be activated.
Note the following:
• In the 5.1 analog mode, output signals from the Main Zone audio
output connectors labeled Front L/R are sent to Zone 2. Signals from
other Main Zone audio output connectors are ignored.
• Main Zone listening mode activation affects the Zone 2 and Record
Zone audio output connectors. For instance, when the MONO listening
mode is activated, the Zone 2 and Record Zone audio output connectors
will generate mono output signals.
• It is recommended to set the ZONE2 and RECORD IN parameters to
DMIX when recording from a DVD player without built-in Dolby Digital
or dts-ES decoding to a VCR or PVR (i.e. Tivo® or Replay TV®).
• The SDP-40 automatically uses LOGIC7 encoding to downmix multi-
channel sources (except 5.1-channel analog sources) to LOGIC7-
encoded stereo output signals for listening and recording. LOGIC7-
encoded downmixes are compatible with matrix decoders, but will
sound best when played back through a LOGIC7 listening mode.
