"008". The setting used determines how many errors are detected before the SSD-
66 (5.1) automatically mutes. The typical setting for the Repeat Count is "002".
Step 7
Use the VOL UP or VOL DN buttons to raise or lower the Repeat Counter.
Input Format
Step 8
Repeatedly press the SETUP MODE button until the display reads "SIF S/PDIF" or
"SIF NON-FORM". This filter is in place for future AC-3 source material and AC-3
source components. At this time, the filter that must be used is "SIF S/PDIF". This
is the current format of AC-3 laser disc software.
Step 9
Use the VOL UP or VOL DN buttons until the display reads "SIF S/PDIF".
Line Modes
Step 10
Repeatedly press the INPUT SELECT button until the display reads either
"DIALNORM ON", "DIALNORM OFF", "RF MOD MODE", or "LINEOUT MODE".
"RF MOD MODE" is built into the SSD-66 (5.1) for future use with AC-3 radio broad-
cast transmissions. The "LINEOUT MODE" is used for future two and five channel
AC-3 television broadcasts. The "DIALNORM OFF" mode (dialog normalization
off) is the most dynamic mode, providing complete dynamic response. The
"DIALNORM ON" mode compresses the AC-3 signal so that if it appears to dy-
namic with the filter off, the signal will appear normalized when on. Thus, while you
will not want to use the "RF MOD MODE" or "LINEOUT MODE", you can judge for
yourself whether "DIALNORM ON" or "DIALNORM OFF" best suits your taste.
Step 11
Use the VOL UP or VOL DN buttons to select between "DIALNORM ON" or
"DIALNORM OFF".
HDR Scale (Automatically Sets to "1=FULL ON" for the AC-3 Night Mode)
Step 12
Repeatedly press the SETUP MODE button until the display reads "HDR SCALE"
followed by numbers. The numbers reflect the high level scale which can range
from "0=OFF", "0.05", "0.10",...."0.95", and "1=FULL ON". The HDR Scale is used
with the "DOLBY AC-3" mode to limit the high level audio signals by the numeric
factor applied. Thus, when in "DOLBY AC-3" mode, the bangs and booms can be
limited so they are never too loud. This level control is accomplished through digi-
tal compression of the AC-3 signal.
Step 13
Use the VOL UP or VOL DN buttons to alter the HDR Scale.
LDR Scale (Automatically Sets to "1=FULL ON" for the AC-3 Night Mode)
Step 12
Press the SETUP MODE button until the display reads "LDR SCALE" followed by
numbers. The numbers reflect the high level scale which can range from "0=OFF",
"0.05", "0.10",...."0.95", and "1=FULL ON". The LDR Scale is used with the "DOLBY
AC-3" mode to the low level audio signals by the numeric factor applied. Thus,
when in "DOLBY AC-3" mode, the whispers and subtle audio passages are raised
to a level where they can always be heard.
Step 13
Use the VOL UP or VOL DN buttons to alter the LDR Scale.
The HDR Scale and LDR Scale can be selectively set for the "DOLBY AC-3" mode and are
always fully engaged for the "AC-3 NIGHT" mode.
