ABOUT THE ZONES
The Main zone 7.1 output has access to any of the analog, digital or
HDMI sources. The Zone 2 outputs are connected to the stereo analog
RCA Unbalanced inputs ONLY. Alternatively you can choose to listen to
a 2-channel downmix of the main zone, including any digital sources, by
selecting DIGITAL while controlling the ZONE input.
Zone 2 can only select the analog RCA sources as shown in the
quick start section above. It cannot select the USB, or Balanced inputs.
You can listen to a downmix output of the digital input that is selected in
the Main Zone by selecting DIGITAL while controlling the ZONE 2. When
selecting DIGITAL the display will show ―DAC‖ as the input source.
USING DUAL HDMI OUTPUTS
The SDP-45 has two (2) HDMI outputs. Both can be used at the same
time with some restrictions on output formats.
When only one output is used the HDMI video resolution will be
determined by the source according to the maximum capabilities
of the display device. This is how all HDMI devices are designed
to work and is part of the HDMI ―handshake‖ that all devices
must do for HDMI to work.
If two displays are connected but only one is powered the output
will behave the same as if only one is connected. If you turn off
one and turn on the other display the HDMI signal will see the
change and adjust the output to match the newly turned on
display.
This is called ―Hot Plug”.
If two displays are connected and BOTH are powered the HDMI
output of the source will automatically be set to the highest
possible resolution that BOTH displays can allow. For example: if
display #2 can only accept 720p, but display #1 can accept
1080p, then both outputs will be forced to use 720p.
HDMI INPUTS AND HI-RESOLUTION AUDIO
The HDMI inputs can accept and decode high resolution audio bit-
streams including Dolby TrueHD and DTS-
HD Master Audio™. It may be
necessary to disable the Secondary Audio capabilities of most blu-ray
players to enable the uncompressed audio and receive the highest
possible fidelity audio. This option may be called
―secondary audio‖,
―pure direct‖, ―button effects‖, ―BD Audio Mix interactive audio‖, ―HD
Audio Output‖ or similar and should be set to OFF, DIRECT,
BITSTREAM or similar settings. Your particular player may have different
settings and you should consult your owner‘s manual to review the
possible settings and functions.
