9-37 DFP-3000
9.8 Corresponding to DFP-D3000 Surround EX
9.8.1 Restrictions on Control of Surround EX Decoder
1. For Surround EX, information for expressing “Surround EX” on film in any digital format is not
written. For this reason, when controlling the Surround EX processor, there is a need to control the
Surround EX decoder from the DFP-D3000 only when processing the Surround EX decoding for the
SDDS signal.
2. When performing Surround EX decoding for other digital formats, accurate control from the DFP-
D3000 is not possible. In this case, use the control signal from each equipment. Due to effects of the
fallback operation on the DFP-D3000, operations may not be smooth in some cases.
3. The DFP-D3000 software must be changed to a version above V2.61. If B-chain settings have
already been completed, change the setup software version for the DFP-D3000 to V2.00 build 2.044
or above, and read out the set data before upgrading the version. After upgrading the version, re-send
the read out data to the unit.
For DFP-D3000 models shipped after September 1999, use the software provided at shipment.
9.8.2 Connections of Audio System
Connect the audio system as follows.
Of the DFP-D3000 audio outputs, connect the Surround Left output and Surround Right output to the SA-
10 Surround input. To connect the Surround outputs of the SA-10, connect the four outputs from the SA-
10 (Surround Left, Surround Back-Left, Surround Back-Right, Surround Right) to the speaker via the
power amplifier according to the SA-10 manual. In this case, use the switching circuit in the SA-10 to
turn ON and OFF the Surround EX mode to switch the sounds.
The following restrictions apply in the combination with the V2.61 software.
. At the DFP-D3000 side, as the EQ setting cannot be changed for every preset, if combining with the
Surround EX processor, adjust the level and equalizer of the surround channel at the Surround EX
processor side.
(In other words, for the surround channels, adjust the B-chain using the Surround EX processor.)
Therefore at the DFP-D3000, turn OFF the equalizer of the surround channel, and at the same time,
adjust the offset of the surround channel level so that the output level of the surround channel becomes
_16 dBu. When adjusting the sound level, set the amplitude to a high level at the power amplifier.
. For channels other than the surround channel, adjust the equalizer at the DFP-D3000 side.
