ABOUT THE SDP-40
Thank you for purchasing the SDP-40 Digital Controller , a referencequality , 12-channel audio and video control center with independent
zone monitoring to provide control of input source selection in three
zones at the same time. As flexible as it is powerful, the SDP-40
includes 12 configurable inputs, each of which can be assigned to
its 13 digital audio, 8 analog audio, 5 composite video, 8 S-video,
or 4 component video input connectors. The analog audio input
connectors can be configured for stereo or 5.1-channel sources.
Beyond the standard 5.1-channel analog audio output connectors,
the rear panel includes stereo rear and stereo subwoofer connectors,
as well as stereo auxiliar y connectors to provide even more audio
channels. All Main Zone audio output connectors include 24-bit/
96kHz D/A converters operating in dual differential mode. In
addition, the SDP-40 Balanced includes balanced analog audio
output connectors for all Main Zone and Zone 2 channels.
Inside and out, the SDP-40 is designed to remain viable in a future
of emerging technologies. Two RS-232 connectors are provided for
serial control, one to perform flash-memory software upgrades and
configuration downloads and another to support future expansion.
A removable access panel is provided to accommodate new
connectors. Inside, two expansion slots are available for future
hardware upgrades, making it possible to more than quadruple the
SDP-40’s tremendous processing power.
More than just an audio and video control center, the SDP-40
features the latest version of the critically acclaimed LOGIC7®
decoding, which derives 7.1-channel output from stereo, 5.1-, and
6.1-channel sources. Unlike other decoders, LOGIC7 is compatible
with all input sources and requires no special encoding. Because
the improvement it provides is clearly audible, LOGIC7 decoding is
widely regarded as the finest available.
In addition to LOGIC7, the SDP-40 is also equipped with Dolby
Digital Surround EX, Dolby Pro Logic II, Dolby Pro Logic, dts 96/24,
dts NEO:6, dts-ES, THX Ultra2, and THX Surround EX decoding.
THX Ultra2 Certification guarantees that the SDP-40 meets the
highest THX specifications.
With four 32-bit floating-point SHARC™ digital signal processing
(DSP) engines, the SDP-40 offers unparalleled processing power .
These DSP engines perform custom processing such as LOGIC7
decoding, bass enhancement, dialog enhancement, auto azimuth,
5-speaker enhancement, bass management, high-precision digital
crossovers, and audio controls (tone controls). This processing is
available at sample rates up to 96kHz, with 24-bit
resolution to retain top performance from all input sources and
listening modes. A fifth DSP engine is dedicated to decoding multichannel compressed audio sources.
High-precision 24-bit/96kHz A/D converters can be used to convert
stereo analog audio input signals to digital signals, allowing the
SDP-40 to provide the benefits of precise digital signal processing
without sacrificing signal integrity . Alternatively, stereo analogsignals
can bypass A/D conversion and internal processing, following a
pure signal path directly to the output connectors.
Digital audio input signals are processed through a two-stage
phase lock loop for extremely low intrinsic jitter and high rejection.
Auto azimuth technology corrects timing and level imbalances in
stereo sources, ensuring exceptionally accurate playback of surround-encoded sources. A digital audio pass-through option is
available for recording digital input signals with a CD recorder or a
similar component.

Complementing its pristine audio performance, the SDP-40
includes two broadcast-quality video switchers. An ultra-wide
bandwidth component video switcher accepts analog component
or RGB video signals, while a composite and S-video switcher
accepts high-quality NTSC, PAL, or SECAM video signals. The
component video switcher can pass High-Definition TV (HDTV)
and Standard-Definition TV signals. Both switchers are designed to
pass video signals without alteration or degradation.
An unparalleled audio and video control center, the SDP-40
represents a solid investment with awesome power, limitless
possibilities, and leading-edge technological sophistication. Even
the most demanding enthusiasts will be impressed with its
exceptional performance. Add to this extensive expansion
capabilities, and the SDP-40 is a must-have addition for any highquality home theater.

REMOTE CONTROL BATTERY INSTALLATION
The remote control requires two AA batteries that should be replaced as needed. It is recommended to use Alkaline batteries, which last longer
without leaking. When the batteries are low on power, the remote control enters a low-voltage condition that prevents it from operating the
SDP-40. When this occurs, follow the instructions below to replace the batteries. Normal operation will resume when new batteries are
installed.
To replace the remote control batteries:
1. Locate the battery compartment on the back of the remote control. Then, remove the battery compartment cover as shown in Figure 1-A
(bottom-left). To do this, press the tab attached to the cover. When the tab is pressed, pull the cover away from the remote control.
2. Remove old batteries inserted in the battery compartment (if applicable).
3. Insert two AA batteries in the compartment as shown in Figure 1-B (bottom-center). Make sure the batteries are correctly inserted observing
the proper polarity.
4. When new batteries have been installed, close the battery compartment cover as shown in Figure 1-C (bottom-right). To do this, align the
cover with the guide on the back of the remote control. When the cover is aligned, press the cover until it "snaps" into place.
5. Dispose of the old batteries (if applicable).

COMMAND BANK ACTIVATION
Remote control buttons perform different commands depending
on whether the Main Zone, Zone 2, Record Zone, or Shift
command bank is activated. Pressing and releasing a remote
control command bank selection button – MAIN, ZONE, REC, or
SHIFT – activates the corresponding command bank. The selected
command bank remains activated until another command bank is
activated.
The command bank selection buttons themselves do not send
commands to the SDP-40. When pressed and released, these
buttons activate the corresponding command bank.
Note:
Remote control command bank selection buttons
should not be pressed and held.
To activate a command bank:
1. Press and release a command bank selection button to activate
the desired command bank.
2. Press a remote control button to send the associated command
to the SDP-40. The command matrix that begins on the next
page indicates the commands remote control buttons perform
when each command bank is activated.
The ON-SCREEN DISPLAY menu REMOTE STATE parameter controls
the remote control command bank indicator that appears on the
on-screen display. When the REMOTE STATE parameter is set to
ON, a command bank indicator appears in the top-right corner of
the on-screen display to indicate the last command bank from
which the SDP-40 received a command. When the REMOTE STATE
parameter is set to OFF, no command bank indicator appears on
the on-screen display.
A "Z" appears when a command from the Zone 2 command bank
was received last. An "R" appears when a command from the
Record Zone command bank was received last. An "S" appears
when a command from the Shift command bank was received last.
No letter appears when a command from the Main Zone command
bank was received last.
COMMAND MATRIX
The command matrix that begins on the next page indicates the
commands remote control buttons perform when each command
bank is activated. The numbers in the SDP-40 remote control
illustrations that also begin on the next page correspond with the
numbered items in the matrix.
