With four floating-point SHARC™ digital signal processing (DSP) engines, the SDP-5 boasts enormous processing power. These powerful processors 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. These features are available at sample rates up to 96kHz, with 24-bit resolution to retain top performance from all sources. In addition, a fifth DSP engine is dedicated to decoding multi-channel compressed audio sources.

The SDP-5 is one of the most advanced audio and video control centers available. High-precision 24-bit/96kHz A/D converters can be used to convert stereo analog audio input signals to digital signals, allowing the SDP-5 to provide the benefits of precise digital signal processing without sacrificing signal integrity. Alternatively, stereo analog signals 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 surroundencoded sources. A digital audio pass-through output is available for recording digital signals with a CD recorder or a similar component.

ABOUT THE SDP-5

Thank you for purchasing the SDP-5 Digital Controller, an 8channel audio and video control center with independent zone monitoring that provides control of audio and video source selection in two zones at the same time. The SDP-5 includes eight configurable inputs, each of which can be assigned to its eight digital audio, eight analog audio, five composite video, five S-video, or three component video input connectors. The analog connectors can be configured for up to two 5.1-channel sources.

Inside and out, the SDP-5 is designed for possible future developments. The rear panel houses one RS-232 connector capable of performing configuration downloads and flash memory software upgrades and another capable of supporting future developments. The rear panel also includes two removable access panels to accommodate connectors for emerging technologies.

More than just an audio and video control center, the SDP-5 offers the latest version of the critically acclaimed LOGIC7® decoding, which creates a 7.1-channel output signal from stereo, 5.1-, and

6.1-channel sources. Unlike other decoders, LOGIC7 decoding is compatible with all input sources and requires no special encoding. Because the improvement it provides is clearly audible, LOGIC7 is widely regarded as the finest available.

In addition to LOGIC7, the SDP-5 offers 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-5 meets the highest THX specifications.

The component video switcher can pass High-Definition TV (HDTV) signals, as well as StandardDefinition TV signals. Both switchers are designed to pass video signals without alteration or degradation.

Built to professional standards, the SDP-5 is designed to serve as the control center in any high-quality home theater. Even the most demanding enthusiast will be impressed with its unique combination of power, performance, flexibility, and technological sophistication. With extensive expansion capabilities, the SDP-5 represents a solid investment that will retain its value in the face of rapidly emerging technologies.

• When the Shift command bank is activated, pressing the remote control THX button while a 5.1-channel Dolby Digital input source is present activates the 5.1 THX, 5.1 THX ULTRA2, or 5.1 THX SurEX listening mode. Refer to page 5-17 for more information.

UNDERSTANDING THE ZONES

The SDP-5 features two zones of operation, called the Main Zone and Zone 2. The Main Zone controls audio and video sources in the primary listening space. Zone 2 controls audio and video sources in the secondary listening space.

The Main Zone and Zone 2 have separate digital audio receivers and dedicated analog input source selectors that allow for independent input selection in each zone. For instance, the SDP-5 can play a DVD in the Main Zone and a CD in Zone 2 at the same time.

The following are exceptions to independent zone operation:

1. The same Dolby Digital or dts(-ES) input source can be selected for the Main Zone and Zone 2 at the same time. However, different Dolby Digital or dts(-ES) input sources cannot be present in both zones at the same time.

2. Zone 2 can provide a 2-channel downmix of Main Zone multichannel audio when all of the following conditions are met:

• The same input must be selected in the Main Zone and

Zone 2.

•A Dolby Digital or dts(-ES) input source must be present in

the Main Zone.

• The INPUT SETUP menu ZONE2 IN parameter must be set

to DMIX (3-24).

3. The Zone 2 audio output connectors are not available when the 5.1a BYPASS listening mode is activated in the Main Zone and the ZONE2 IN parameter is set to ANLG. However, it is possible to have a 5.1-channel analog input source present in

the Main Zone and a digital input source present in Zone 2.

Basic Operation

Zone 2 Two-Line Status

The Zone 2 two-line status shown at the right indicates the current input, input source, and volume level selected in Zone 2. It appears on the on-screen and front panel displays when the SDP-5 detects a Zone 2 change.

STATUS MENUS

When the Shift command bank is activated, pressing the remote control Stat button opens the STATUS menu for the current input source, which contains parameters that provide information about the current input source and listening mode. STATUS menus are available for 2-channel, Dolby Digital, dts(-ES), and analog input sources.

Unlike most other menus, STATUS menus cannot be opened through the selection of menu options. Rather, the remote control Shift, Stat command must be performed.

To open and navigate the STATUS menu for the current input source:

1. Press and hold the remote control Shift button.

2. While holding the Shift button, press the remote control Stat

button. The first page of the STATUS menu for the current input source will appear on the on-screen and front panel displays.

TWO-LINE STATUS

The two-line status provides information about the zone from which the SDP-5 last detected a change in status. The Main Zone two-line status appears when the SDP-5 detects a Main Zone change, and the Zone 2 two-line status appears when the SDP-5 detects a Zone 2 change.

The ON-SCREEN DISPLAY menu STATUS (3-49) parameter can be used to control the length of time for which the two-line status appears on the on-screen display. The ON-SCREEN DISPLAY menu POSITION parameter (3-50) can be used to control the position of the two-line status on the on-screen display.

Note:

When the display device is connected to a component video output connector and the MAIN ADV menu COMPONENT OSD parameter (3-23) is set to OFF, the display device does not show the on-screen display, including the two-line status.

Main Zone Two-Line Status

The Main Zone two-line status shown at the right indicates the current input, listening mode, input source, and volume level selected in the Main Zone. It appears on the on-screen and front panel displays when the SDP-5 detects a Main Zone change.

STATUS MENU PARAMETER DESCRIPTIONS

2.0 ENCODING MATRIX, NONE

Indicates whether or not a matrix-encoded source is detected. When the parameter setting is MATRIX, a matrix-encoded source is detected. When the parameter setting is NONE, a matrix-encoded source is not detected. The SDP-5 cannot automatically detect matrix encoding in non-flagged input sources.

BIT RATE 32 to 640 kbps or 754 to 1509.7kbps

Indicates the rate at which the input signal is encoded. A higher bit rate indicates that less compression was used during the encoding process. Possible settings for Dolby Digital sources range from 32 to 640 kbps. Possible settings for dts(-ES) sources range from 754 to 1509.7kbps.

CENTER MIX LVL -3.0dB, -4.5dB, -6.0dB

Indicates the relative level of the center channel that was used during the mixing process.

CHANNELS 3/3.1, 3/2.1, 3/2, 3/1, 2/2, 2/1, 2/0, 1/0

Indicates the number of channels present in the input source. The first digit indicates the number of front channels present. The digit after the slash indicates the number of surround channels present. The digit after the decimal point indicates the presence of LFE (low frequency effects) information. For instance, if the parameter setting is 3/2.1, an input source with three front channels, two surround channels, and LFE information is present. LFE information is sent to the Main Zone audio output connector labeled Subwoofer.

Possible settings for Dolby Digital input sources include 3/2.1, 3/2, 3/1, 2/2, 2/1, 2/0, and 1/0. Current settings for dts(-ES) input sources include 3/3.1 and 3/2.1.

DIALOG OFFSET -27 to +4dB

Indicates the dialog normalization value applied to the input signal. Dolby Digital input sources reproduce dialog at 27 decibels below full-scale (-27dBFS). When the dialog normalization value of the incoming signal is higher or lower, the DIALOG OFFSET parameter indicates the amount of adjustment the SDP-5 makes to normalize dialog to -27dBFS.

ES ENCODING DISCRETE, MATRIX, OFF

Indicates whether or not a dts-ES-encoded source is detected. When the parameter setting is DISCRETE, a discrete 6.1-channel dts-ES source is detected. When the parameter setting is MATRIX, a 5.1-channel dts-ES source with a surround-encoded back channel is detected. When the parameter setting is NONE, a standard dts source with no dts-ES encoding is detected.

EX ENCODING ON, OFF

Indicates whether or not a Dolby Digital Surround EX-encoded source is detected. When the parameter setting is MATRIX, a

5.1-channel Dolby Digital source recorded with Dolby Digital Surround EX is detected. When the parameter setting is NONE, a standard 5.1-channel Dolby Digital source recorded without Dolby Digital Surround EX-encoding is detected. The SDP-5 cannot automatically detect Dolby Digital Surround EX encoding in nonflagged input sources. Refer to page 5-19 for more information.

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.

ANLG IN LVL

Opens the ANLG IN LVL menu shown above, which can be used to adjust 2-channel analog audio input levels for the selected input. Despite attempts at standardization, analog audio sources have a wide range of levels. To compensate for this, the SDP-5 allows independent input level adjustment for each of its stereo analog audio input connectors. Input level adjustment is not available

for either of the 5.1-channel analog audio input connectors.

Note:

Adjustments made on the ANLG IN LVL menu are applied to the stereo analog audio input connector assigned for the selected input. When another stereo analog audio input connector is assigned, these adjustments are automatically applied to the new connector.

ANLG IN LVL

INPUTS

SETUP

AUTO ON, OFF

Provides automatic adjustment of 2-channel analog audio input levels. When set to ON, the SDP-5 automatically monitors and optimizes input levels. When the input signal is too high, the SDP-5 quickly decreases input levels to avoid overload. When the input signal is too low, the SDP-5 slowly increases input levels to maximize the signal-to-noise ratio and dynamic range.

When the AUTO parameter is set to OFF, the SDP-5 does not provide automatic adjustment of 2-channel analog audio input levels. Rather, input levels must be adjusted with the ANLG IN LVL MANUAL parameter (next page).

• The digital audio input connectors are compatible with PCM (44.1, 48, 88.2, and 96kHz), Dolby Digital, and dts(-ES) sources. If an incompatible digital audio source (i.e. MPEG or MP3) is present, the SDP-5 automatically selects the assigned analog audio input connector.

• The DIGITAL IN parameter (3-7) can be used to assign a digital audio input connector for the selected input.

The SDP-5 automatically sets the INPUT SELECT parameter to ANALOG when the DIGITAL IN parameter is set to NONE.

• The SDP-5 sends the assigned analog audio input connector to the Main Zone audio output connectors. The SDP-5 ignores the assigned digital audio input connector.

• The ANALOG IN parameter (3-8) can be used to assign an analog audio input connector for the selected input.

The SDP-5 automatically sets the INPUT SELECT parameter to AUTO when both digital and analog audio input connectors are assigned.

• The SDP-5 toggles between sending the assigned digital and analog audio input connectors to the Main Zone audio output connectors based on the input source that is present. For example:

– When a 2-channel PCM, Dolby Digital,

or dts(-ES) source is present, the SDP-5 automatically selects the assigned digital audio input connector.

– When an SACD source is present, the

SETUP

SDP-5

3-25

The SDP-5 automatically sets the ZONE2 IN parameter to DIGITAL when the ANALOG IN parameter is set to NONE.

• The SDP-5 sends the assigned digital audio input connector to the Zone 2 audio output connectors. The SDP-5 ignores the assigned analog audio input connector.

• Independent zone monitoring is available.

• The DIGITAL IN parameter (3-7) can be used to assign a digital audio input connector for the selected input.

The SDP-5 automatically sets the ZONE2 IN parameter to ANLG when the DIGITAL IN parameter is set to NONE.

• The SDP-5 sends the assigned analog audio input connector to the Zone 2 audio output connectors. The SDP-5 ignores the assigned digital audio input connector.

• Independent zone monitoring is available.

• The ANALOG IN parameter (3-8) can be used to assign an analog audio input connector for the selected input.

Set the ZONE2 IN parameter to DMIX to send a downmixed version of Main Zone audio to the Zone 2 audio output connectors. Downmixes can be generated for Dolby Digital and dts(-ES) sources.

•To generate a downmix, the same input must be selected in the Main Zone and Zone 2. Otherwise, the Zone 2 audio output connectors will mute.

• Main Zone listening mode activation affects the Zone 2 audio output connectors. For instance, when the MONO listening mode is activated in the Main Zone, the Zone 2 audio output connectors will generate mono output signals.

• Downmixes cannot be generated when the 5.1a BYPASS listening mode is activated in the Main Zone. However, when the ZONE2 IN parameter is set to DMIX, the 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.

• Independent zone monitoring is NOT available.

• It is recommended to set the ZONE2 IN parameter 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-5 automatically uses LOGIC7 encoding to downmix multi-channel input 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.

Lowpass filters attenuate high frequencies at 24dB per octave. The curves in the graph above indicate the frequency response of each crossover setting. From left to right, the curves represent crossover settings from 30 to 120Hz.

In general, low frequencies will be redirected from speakers with the highest crossover points to speakers with the lowest crossover points. Low-frequency signals lower than the lowest crossover point will be redirected to the subwoofer. If the lowest crossover point is FULL, lowfrequency signals, excluding LFE information, will not be redirected to the subwoofer.

CALIBRATING OUTPUT LEVELS

Selecting the SPEAKER SETUP menu LEVELS CALIBRATION option opens the LEVELS CALIBRATION menu shown above, which can be used to calibrate output levels for the Main Zone audio output connectors. Calibration ensures that output levels correspond to THX reference levels (75dB) for input sources such as DVDs.

Please note the following to ensure accurate output level calibration:

• It is recommended to use a Sound Pressure Level (SPL) meter to calibrate output levels. An SPL meter is a device that measures the relative loudness of the speakers to ensure accurate output level calibration. SPL meters are available at Radio Shack (catalog number 33-2050).

• Before output level calibration begins, eliminate extraneous noises in the listening space, such as conversations, air conditioners, and sounds that filter in through open doors and windows.

LEVELS CALIBRATION

SPEAKERS

SETUP

• Before output level calibration begins, remove objects (as well as people) that obstruct the line-of-sight path between the SPL meter and the speaker being measured.

• Output levels should be calibrated from the primary listening position, placing the SPL meter at the approximate spot where the listener’s head will be during listening.

INTERNAL NOISE TEST

Opens the INTERNAL NOISE message shown above, which indicates that the internal noise test produces loud calibration test signals. When this message appears, press the Menu  arrow to open the SPEAKER LEVEL ADJUST menu shown above and conduct the internal noise test or press the Menu  arrow to close the message without conducting the internal noise test. When the SPEAKER LEVEL ADJUST menu opens, the internal noise test automatically begins.

Internal Noise Test (continued from page 3-39)

Note:

The SDP-5 automatically sets volume level to +0dB when the internal noise test begins. It is recommended to avoid adjusting master volume level while the test is in progress to achieve a 75dB THX reference level (a 75dB SPL meter reading).

When the internal noise test is conducted, a calibration test signal travels to the Main Zone audio output connectors in the order listed on the SPEAKER LEVEL ADJUST menu. As the calibration test signal travels, the cursor automatically scrolls downward through SPEAKER LEVEL ADJUST menu parameters, highlighting each speaker parameter as the corresponding output connector is tested. Each output connector is tested for about 4 seconds.

The SPEAKER LEVEL ADJUST menu can be used to manually adjust output levels while the internal noise test is conducted. Refer to page 3-42 for more information.

Please note the following:

• When the internal noise test is conducted, it is possible to select a SPEAKER LEVEL ADJUST menu parameter just as the SDP-5 is about to automatically scroll to the next parameter, causing the SDP-5 to send the calibration noise to both speakers. If this occurs, reselect the desired speaker.

Note:

Main Zone audio output connectors for which the corresponding CUSTOM or SYNTHESIS 7CH SETUP menu parameter is set to NONE cannot be adjusted during the internal noise test. These output connectors can be adjusted during the external noise test, but there is no need to do so.

DACS CALIBRATION

Opens the DACS CALIBRATION menu shown above, which can be used to adjust output levels while DACS calibration is conducted. DACS calibration requires an external calibration source, such as an audio calibration disc or, in JBL Synthesis systems, the DACS

(JBL Digital Acoustical Calibration System). An audio calibration disc can be used with the DACS.

To optimize systems that include DACS and a JBL Digital Equalizer:

1. Connect the DACS Signal Generator left and right output

connectors labeled EVP-1 to the SDP-5 analog audio input connectors labeled 1. These connectors are active in the TAPE input.

2. Set the master volume level to 0dB.

This will provide the correct signal path and reference output level.

When DACS calibration is conducted, the SDP-5 activates a listening mode based on the Main Zone input source that is present. The table in the next column indicates the listening mode that is activated for each input source. When a listening mode is activated during DACS calibration, it retains its factory-default settings, ignoring custom settings that might have been selected on the corresponding listening mode menu.

BASS PEAK LIMITER

Opens the BASS PEAK LIMITER menu shown above, which can be used to set amplitude limits for all speakers to which low frequencies are redirected, including the subwoofer.

The SDP-5 is equipped with an internal limiter that prevents lowfrequency output signals from exceeding a designated level. This is essential for Dolby Digital and dts(-ES) input sources that produce low-frequency peaks at much higher levels than 2-channel sources. In home theaters, the subwoofer and its associated amplifier might not be able to reproduce these levels without overloading.

When the REMOTE ONLY parameter is set to OFF and program operation parameters are set to ON, the trigger output connector labeled 1 is associated with the corresponding Main Zone input, Main Zone listening modes, or Zone 2 inputs. (The connector cannot be associated with individual Zone 2 inputs; rather, it can be associated with the Zone 2 inputs as a group.) When configured for program operation, the connector is activated when the corresponding inputs and listening modes are selected and deactivated when the corresponding inputs and listening modes are deselected.

Note:

When the CUSTOM menu RESET MODE option is selected to restore the factorydefault version of the selected listening mode, the corresponding TRIGGER SETUP menu listening mode parameter is automatically set to OFF.

Program Operation Parameters ON, OFF

Configure the trigger output connector labeled 1 for program operation. All TRIGGER SETUP menu parameters – except the REMOTE ONLY parameter – are considered program operation parameters. The connector can be associated with multiple inputs and listening modes at the same time.
