Getting Processor Status - B&K Reference 31 Owner's Manual

GETTING PROCESSOR STATUS

When you are not in a menu, pressing ENTER at any time will bring up a two or three line status message on
Zone 1 video outputs. A single line status message is also available on the processor's front panel display. This
display will also pop up automatically whenever you change sources or whenever the selected source information
changes. The video type is very important if you are using mixed composite and S-video sources since it will tell
you how you must set your monitor for the best picture. The bitstream and channel information is particularly
important with DVDs since they may contain multiple soundtracks. When you initially start the DVD you may get a
Dolby Digital 2.0 soundtrack. To get the best possible sound, you may have to use the DVD player's menu
system to get to a Dolby Digital 5.1 or DTS-ES multi-channel soundtrack. If you ever need to call B&K regarding a
problem with your processor be sure to note the status display before calling.
