The MDP 500 forms the heart of a high-end home cinema and audio system and should be used with high quality power amplifiers such as the Myryad MA 240, MA 360 and MA 500 two, three and five channel power amplifiers. The MDP 500 can decode a wide variety of discrete surround material including Dolby Digital , Dolby Digital Surround 1 2 2 2 EX , DTS , DTS-ES Matrix and Discrete , DTS Neo:6 and a proprietary mode "Surround 6. 1" ­ together with the ability to down-mix any source to mono or stereo. It also functions as a high quality stereo preamplifier and any stereo analogue source can be sampled at 48kHz for further digital processing, or at 96kHz for the best sound quality without any further processing. [. . . ] Note: this function is only available with Dolby Digital sources. CINE EQ This key switches on and off the Cinema Equalisation function. It operates in exactly the same way as the front panel CINE EQ button. SRCE + and - These keys function in exactly the same way as the front panel SOURCE !MODE + and - These keys function in exactly the same way as the front panel MODE button, but allow selection up and down through the available modes. TRIM + and - These keys are for trimming speaker levels in LEVEL mode or speaker distances in DELAY (distance) mode. First press LEVEL (or DELAY) and then adjust the relevant parameter using these keys. If LEVEL (or DELAY) has not been pressed the keys function as temporary Subwoofer level trims (not stored in memory) and this temporary trim level is shown briefly in the bottom right hand corner of the OSD. In the Speaker level setup menu the TRIM keys can be used to adjust the level of the currently active speaker during TEST noise calibration. LEVEL This key switches on LEVEL Trim mode and will cycle though the channels for trimming ­ shown in the front panel display only, not the OSD. The key is pressed once to enter level setup mode and select the Left Front channel. The TRIM + and - keys are then used to adjust the Left Front speaker level, either using programme material, or the TEST noise source (see above). If the TEST key is pressed the system will cycle automatically through the channels. If the Level is being trimmed using programme material then the LEVEL key should be pressed again to advance to the Centre channel and so on until all the channels have been trimmed, when the system will exit LEVEL mode automatically. LEVEL trim is not active on the 7. 1 Channel input. DELAY This key switches on DELAY (= distance) setup mode and will cycle though all active channels (including subwoofer) for setting up the distance from the listener to each speaker ­ shown in the front panel display only, not the OSD. The key is pressed once to enter delay setup mode and select the Left channel. The TRIM + and - keys are then used to set the distance to the Left speaker. Press the DELAY key again to advance to the Centre speaker to set its distance, followed by the Right speaker and so on. The last selected speaker is "Subwoofer" - one further press of the DELAY key will exit DELAY setup mode. Note: the delays are not active on the 7. 1 Channel input as these signals remain in the analogue domain. Using the setup menus ­ via the On Screen Display or front panel display The setup menus are accessed by pressing the MENU key on the remote controller. The UP, DOWN, LEFT and RIGHT arrow keys (!, ", #, $) are used to navigate in the menus. [. . . ] Incorrect operation - some functions not working · Control processor latched.
