The SDP-40HD passes digital audio
from the assigned input to the Zone 2
o r R e c o r d Z o n e a u d i o o u t p u t
connectors. The assigned analog audio
input is ignored. Zones can be indepen-
dently monitored.
Note the following:
•
Zone 2 and the Record Zone are
muted if the DIGITAL IN parameter is
set to HDMI AUDIO. In this case,
DMIX must be selected.
• The SDP-40HD passes digital sources
to all Zone 2 or Record Zone audio
output connectors.
• The SDP-40HD passes digital input
signals directly to the Record Zone
digital audio output connectors. The
SDP-40HD sends digital input signals
through D/A conversion before
passing them to the Zone 2 or Record
Zone analog a udio output
connectors.
• When no analog audio input is
assigned, ZONE2 IN and RECORD
IN are set to DIGITAL.
• The INPUT SETUP menu DIGITAL
IN parameter can be used to assign
a digital audio input connector for
the selected input.
The SDP-40HD passes analog audio
from the assigned input to the Zone 2
or Record Zone audio output
connectors. The assigned digital audio
input is ignored. Zones can be indepen-
dently monitored.
Note the following:
•
The SDP-40HD passes analog
sources to all Zone 2 or Record
Zone audio output connectors.
• The SDP-40HD passes analog input
signals directly to the Zone 2 or
Record Zone analog audio output
connectors. The SDP-40HD sends
analog input signals through A/D
conversion before passing them to
the Record Zone digital audio
output connectors.
• When no digital audio input is
a s s i g n e d , Z O N E 2 I N a n d
RECORD IN are set to ANALOG.
• The INPUT SETUP menu
ANALOG IN parameter can be
used to assign an analog audio
input connector for the selected
input.
The SDP-40HD passes a downmixed version of Main Zone audio to
the Zone 2 or Record Zone audio output connectors. Zones cannot be
independently monitored. Downmixing is possible when all of the
following conditions are met:
•
The same input is selected in both Main Zone and Zone 2 or in
both Main Zone and Record Zone. Otherwise, the Zone 2 or
Record Zone audio output connectors will mute.
• The 5.1mc BYPASS listening mode is not activated.
Note the following:
•
If the downmixed audio is coming from the HDMI input, and the
content is HDCP-encoded, the sample rate is limited to no more
than 48kHz.
• If the audio from a copy-protected DVD-Audio disc is input
through HDMI, then no digital audio output is available.
• A downmix of all channels is sent to Zone 2.
• Main Zone listening mode activation affects the Zone 2 and
Record Zone audio output connectors. For example, when the
MONO listening mode is activated, the Zone 2 and Record Zone
audio output connectors will generate mono output signals.
• Set the ZONE2 IN and RECORD IN parameters to DMIX when
using a playback device (DVD player) that does not have built-in
Dolby Digital or DTS(-ES) decoding, and the recording device is a
VCR or Personal Video Recorder (PVR).
• The SDP-40HD automatically downmixes multi-channel sources
(except LOGIC 7 FILM and MUSIC sources) to stereo output
signals for listening and recording. Also, 5.1-channel analog
sourc es can be dow nmix ed w hen the MAIN
ADVANCED
ANALOG BYPASS parameter is set to OFF. Upon
playback, these downmixes are compatible with matrix decoders,
but sound best through a Logic 7 listening mode.
