The remote control gives you complete access to the functions of both your P/SP-1500 and P/DD-1500. These same keys include On, Off, and input selection. Refer to the P/SP-1500 owner's manual for more details about using the remote control to operate your P/SP-1500. Other keys on the remote dedicated to the P/SP-1500 will not affect the P/DD-1500 and pressing any mode other than 5. 1 will always disengage the P/DD-1500. Also note that the only on-screen display that applies to the P/DD-1500 is 5. 1 mode indicator. Therefore, you will need to refer to the front panel of the P/DD-1500 for its control status. Input Selectors You can select the RF and three digital inputs from the remote control or on the front panel. When you choose an input, a corresponding green LED on the front panel will illuminate to indicate which input you selected. Note that the four AV Inputs on the P/SP-1500 correspond automatically to the inputs on the P/DD-1500: (RF = Video 1, Toslink = Video 2, Coax 1 = Video 3, Coax 2 = Video 4). If you want to select different "non corresponding" inputs for the P/DD-1500 and P/SP-1500, use the input selector buttons on the front panels instead of the remote control. P/DD-1500 Processing Modes You can select three different processing modes from the remote control or on the front panel. When you first turn the unit on and before your digital source is playing, the green LED above the Dolby Digital button and all the L, C, R, LS, RS, LFE channel indicators in the front panel display will light to show you that all six channels are ready to receive a signal. Once the P/DD-1500 receives a signal, the LOCK indicator in the display will illuminate. The P/DD-1500 detects whether the material was recorded in 5. 1 or 2 channel and select it automatically: Dolby Digital If the source you are playing was encoded in 5. 1 channel Dolby Digital, the internal decoder automatically selects Dolby Digital processing. The green LED above the Dolby Digital button and all of the amber L, C, R, LS, RS, LFE channel indicators will illuminate to indicate 5. 1 channel Dolby Digital processing. Pro Logic Surround If the source material you want to listen to was encoded in Dolby Surround (LT, RT matrix) you can decode the signal into Dolby Pro Logic by selecting this mode.
