Connecting Other Audio/Visual Sources
Page 39 — Change the heading to read Connecting Other Audio/Video Sources and change the
text on the page to read as follows:
You can connect an alternate audio/video source such as another DVD player by following the
diagram.
If you wish to use the digital audio output from a DVD player to the DCP501, you must assign
either the Optical1 or Coaxial digital audio input to the corresponding DCP501 video input
source by using the INPUT SETUP screens. If the DVD player is connected to the
on the front panel, the DCP501 automatically uses the
OPTICAL2 digital audio input over the
VIDEO2 inputs
analog input if it is available. See the “Operations” section for information on using the INPUT
SETUP screens.
Before connecting the DVD player, check the manual supplied with the DVD player for the
manufacturer’s installation guidelines.
Operation
Setting Up Audio
Page 46 — Change the first paragraph to read as follows:
This section includes information about setting up speakers and selecting audio inputs. During
playback from an external source such as a VCR, the DCP501 automatically selects which audio
input to use. If the audio input is digital, always use a digital input. Once a digital input is
assigned to a particular source, the DCP501 always uses the assigned digital audio input
instead of the analog audio input if both are present for the same source. You must select
various input sources from the INPUT SETUP menu so the DCP501 knows which digital inputs
are assigned. The DCP501 display shows the current audio input used by the selected source:
OPT1, OPT2, COAX, or ANALOG. For digital audio inputs only, the DCP501 turns on an
icon to distinguish the digital input type:
PCM, DTS, or D DIGITAL.
Input Setup
Page 48 — Change step 7 to read as follows:
1 During playback from one of the external sources, the DCP501 automatically selects which
audio input to use. The DCP501 defaults to a digital audio input if one is present. You must
select various input sources from the INPUT SETUP menu so the DCP501 knows which
digital inputs are assigned. The DCP501 display shows the current audio input used by the
selected source:

Subwoofer and Speakers
Page 49 — Change the first paragraph to read as follows:
This option defines whether a subwoofer speaker is connected to the
AUDIO-PREOUT-SUB
connector. If NO is selected, Speaker Size for all speakers defaults to LARGE. If you do not
have a surround mode selected, you cannot make adjustments to the rear speakers. Similarly, if
you do have a center speaker in the selected mode, you cannot make adjustments to the center
speaker. You must set the DCP501 to an audio mode that uses the center channel and/or the
surround channels in order to make adjustments to the center speaker and/or surround
speakers. The factory setting is
YES. To change the subwoofer settings on the DCP501:

Test Tone Adjust
Page 62 — Add the following bulleted item:
You can be in any audio mode except stereo to enter the Test Tone Adjust menu. You can
only adjust the test tone levels for the speakers that are used in the audio mode you have
selected. For example, Dolby 3 Channel Stereo uses left, right, and center speakers. You can
adjust the test tones for these three speakers, but not for either of the surround speakers. In
any of the full surround modes, you can adjust all five test tone levels (left, right, center,
right surround, left surround). You are not allowed to adjust any of the test tones when
stereo mode is selected.

If the front panel displays O V E R L O A D , one of two things has
happened:
1 If the DCP501 detects the speakers have a short circuit, it shuts
down the amplifiers. Switch the DCP501 off, remove the short circuit,
and turn the DCP501 back on. The DCP501 should now work as
normal. If O V E R L O A D is still displayed, a short circuit condition
remains.
2 If the maximum amplifier output power is exceeded, the DCP501
shuts down the amplifiers. Turn down the volume a little and switch
the DCP501 off and then switch the DCP501 back on and the
DCP501 should now work as normal. If O V E R L O A D is still
displayed, turn the volume down some more.
