Acoustical Parameters (cont.) - Default Modes
The SSD-66 (5.1) has a total of ten surround sound modes, two of which are dedicated to AC-
3 decoding and eight surround sound modes for two channel audio. These modes are de-
scribed in detail in the upcoming sections of this manual. The mode names are as follows:
DOLBY AC-3 (AC-3 Sources Only) AC-3 NIGHT (AC-3 Sources Only)
PRO LOGIC 3 CH STEREO
PHANTOM STEREO
MUSIC QUAD BYPASS
5 CH BYPASS PHANTOM PLUS
One of the SSD-66 (5.1)'s best features is that as you switch through Input Labels, the SSD-
66 (5.1) can automatically engage a specific surround sound mode. Thus, as you skip from
"LASER AC3 1" to "CD PLAYER 6", the SSD-66 (5.1) will automatically change its decoding
mode from "DOLBY AC-3" to "QUAD BYPASS". The ability to select a different "Default
Mode" for each Input Label is programmed directly on the SSD-66 (5.1). Furthermore, you
can also select that a specific Input Label, when selected, switch to the "Last Mode" used on
that Input Label.
DTS Note: For DTS Input Labels set to a Multi-Pin Input, no default mode needs to be
selected in that the DTS input is direct and bypasses all other decoding. While in
the Setup Mode, it may be possible to set a default mode for a DTS input. Once out
of the Setup Mode, the SSD-66 (5.1) will automatically engage the "DIRECT" mode.
ADA recommends that each Input Label that is used, be assigned a "Default Mode". To set
the "Default Mode", follow these steps.
Step 1 Repeatedly press the INPUT SELECT button until your first Input Label name ap-
pears in the SSD-66 (5.1)'s display.
Step 2 Repeatedly press the SETUP MODE button until the words "DEFAULT MODE"
appears in the display.
Step 3 Using the VOL UP or VOL DN buttons, select the desired "Default Mode" for this
Input Label. As you press the VOL UP or VOL DN buttons, the SSD-66 (5.1)'s
display will scroll through all modes relative to the audio/video link for this Input
Label. Thus, if you are on an Input Label for a VCR with an A/V Link assigned to an
analog audio input, you will not register "DOLBY AC-3" or "AC-3 NIGHT" modes as
these modes are only available when an Input Label has an A/V Link assigned to
one of the SSD-66 (5.1)'s digital audio inputs. Furthermore, if you wish this Input
Label to always access the last mode used when this Input Label was selected, the
term "LAST USED" is available as a "Default Mode".
Step 4 When the desired "Default Mode" appears in the SSD-66 (5.1)'s display, press the
INPUT SELECT button to load the memory and exit the programming mode.
Step 5 Press the INPUT SELECT button to advance to the next used Input Label and
repeat Steps 2-4 for all other Input Labels which you are using.
