Processor Status

Processor status will display after an input selec-

tion or any time by pressing the INFO or ENTER

button on the remote control. INFO will display

the status on both the OSD and front panel,

while ENTER will display status on the front

panel only. The info status will display status for

the source input selection, bitstream type, sampling rate, video type, audio mode, speaker selections, EQ

setting, and surround processing types. The video source type is very important if you are mixing component,

composite and S-video types. It will describe the video type the processor is using. The bitstream and

speaker channel information is particularly important with DVDs since they may or may not contain certain

soundtracks. When you initially start the DVD you may get a Dolby Digital (AC3) 2.0 soundtrack. To get the

best possible sound, you may have to use the DVD player's menu system to activate the Dolby Digital 5.1 or

DTS-ES multi-channel soundtracks. The last line will provide additional information about the surround or

cinema mode processing currently in use. If you need to call B & K regarding a problem with your receiver

be sure to note the status display before calling.
