MODE ADJUSTJBL Synthesis 5-8Please note the following about dts NEO:6 listening mode activation: •The dts NEO:6 listening modes cannot be assigned as the preferred listening mode for 2-channel sources. However, when the 2-CH parameter is set to USE LAST, the SDP-5 will automatically activate a dts NEO:6 listening mode if a dts NEO:6 listening mode was activated the last time a 2-channel source was present. •The SDP-5 will not automatically activate the dts NEO:6 listening modes unless a 44.1 or 48kHz PCM digital source is present. The dts NEO:6 listening modes are not available with 88.2 or 96kHz, Dolby Digital, or analog sources. •The dts NEO:6 MUSIC listening mode can be activated with the front panel or remote control Mode and buttons. The dts NEO:6 FILM listening mode can also be activated with the remote control dts button when a 2-channel input source is present. dts NEO:6 FILM •Designed for playback of matrix-encoded digital stereo film sources. •Derives six channels when both side and rear speakers are present (rear channels will be in parallel). Derives five channels when only side or rear speakers are present. The subwoofer channel is generated through bass management in the SDP-5.

PANORAMA CALIBRATION •The PANORAMA listening mode must be calibrated to take full advantage of its effects. •For best results, it is recommended to center the primary listening position between the front left and right speakers as shown in the illustration centered at the top of page 5-13. Otherwise, the PANORAMA listening mode will be calibrated with various results. Option/ Default Possible Parameter Setting Settings SOURCE LEFT & RIGHT RIGHT, LEFT & RIGHT, LEFT SPEAKER ANGLE 30deg 10 to 90deg LISTENER POS +0 -127 to +127 Calibration parameter descriptions begin on the next page. To calibrate the PANORAMA listening mode: 1. Remove all obstructions between the speakers and the primary listening position. 2. Make sure the distances between the speakers and the primary listening position are properly measured. Then, enter these distances on the SPEAKER DISTANCES menu. 3. Sit in the primary listening position. If the primary listening position is not centered between the front left and right speakers, set the LISTENER POS parameter to compensate for the difference. Refer to the LISTENER POS parameter description on the next page for assistance. . . . Panorama Calibration continues on page 5-12 MODE ADJUSTPANORAMACALIBRATION
MODE ADJUSTJBL Synthesis 5-12 Note: The SOURCE parameter controls the perceived direction of the sound, although both the front left and right speakers generate the calibration source signal. SPEAKER ANGLE10 to 90deg Compensates for a wide or narrow speaker angle relative to the primary listening position. Select the setting closest to the angle between the front left and right speakers and the primary listening position. LISTENER POS-127 to +127 Compensates for primary listening positions that are not centered between the front left and right speakers. Each increment within the –127 to +127 parameter range represents about one-third of an inch. Refer to the illustrations at the top of the next page for more information about the LISTENER POS parameter range. Note: The LISTENER POS parameter range might extend past the location of the front left and right speakers. PANORAMA Calibration (continued from page 5-11) To calibrate the PANORAMA listening mode: (continued ) 3. Set the SOURCE parameter (next page) to RIGHT. 4. Begin playback of the calibration source. It is recommended to use a familiar stereo source. 5. When playback of the calibration source is in progress, set the SPEAKER ANGLE parameter (next column) so the sound is not heard in the left ear. 6. Set the SOURCE parameter to LEFT. 7. When playback of the calibration source is in progress, set the SPEAKER ANGLE parameter so the sound is not heard in the right ear. 8. Set the SOURCE parameter to LEFT & RIGHT to confirm the SPEAKER ANGLE and LISTENER POS parameter settings. When the PANORAMA listening mode is properly calibrated, the sound should be perceived to come from all around the primary listening position. If this does not occur, begin again with step 1. SOURCERIGHT, LEFT & RIGHT, LEFT Controls the perceived direction of the calibration source signal. When set to RIGHT, the sound is perceived to come from the right of the primary listening position. When set to LEFT, the sound is perceived to come from the left of the primary listening position. When set to LEFT & RIGHT, the sound is perceived to come from all around the primary listening position. MODE ADJUSTPANORAMACALIBRATION

The table on the next page indicates the conditions in which THX Surround EX and THX Ultra2 decoding are engaged. •Allows 7-channel playback of 5.1-channel Dolby Digital sources without Surround EX encoding. •Applies THX re-equalization to simulate high-frequency rolloffs that occur in movie theaters. Most films are mixed for movie theaters, and might sound too bright when played back in home theaters without re-equalization. •Applies THX timbre matching to minimize timbre differences between the front and surround channels, which results in smoother sound movements between them. •When the 5.1 THX ULTRA2 listening mode is activated, ASA processing is applied to signals sent to the rear speakers. Refer to the ASA parameter description on page 3-34 for more information. •When the 5.1 THX ULTRA2 listening mode is activated, adaptive de-correlation increases the perceived width of the listening space. De-correlation of the mono surround channel increases the perceived width of the surround field in home theaters. •When the 5.1 THX SurEX listening mode is activated, matrix decoding derives three surround channels from 5.1-channel Dolby Digital sources. •Recommended for home theaters with THX-certified loudspeakers.
