The input level meters are displayed when you
select the GAIN parameter for an active input
which has been selected in the Setup menu.
Input Level Meters
When GAIN is selected, two on-screen horizontal bar meters display
peak incoming signal level. The highest peak level is shown in dB in
a separate text line, and as an arrow in the the meter display. White,
yellow and red sections of the bar meter show increasing levels. The
white portion is shown in 3dB increments, the yellow and red portions
are shown in 1.5dB increments. An enlarged block at -21dB indicates
the reference level used with a Dolby calibration tone source.
The peak level display can be refreshed by pressing DONE to exit, then
pressing SELECT to return to the display.

Input Name
Each input has an associated name, which is displayed during normal
operation whenever the input is selected. The default names corre-
spond to the labels on the SDP-3 remote control, front and rear panels.
These names can be customized to more accurately reflect your system
configuration.
To assign a new name (up to 8 characters) for an input, select NAME
from the Input Configuration menu, and EDIT INPUT NAME from the
sub-menu. The display will show the current name with a cursor marking
the character position to be modified. Use the
▲
and
▼
buttons to select
a new character for that position, and SELECT to move the cursor to
another position. Press DONE twice to return to the Input Configuration
menu.
Restore Input Name
This control allows you to restore the factory name for the currently
selected input. Pressing SELECT displays the message PRESS SE-
LECT TO RESTORE INPUT NAME. Pressing SELECT again restores
the name and exits to the Input Configuration menu.
Input Effect "FX" Assignment
The SDP-3 has the ability to automatically load an effect whenever an
input is chosen. For example, if you primarily listen to CD’s with the
ROCK/POP effect, the SDP-3 can be set to load this effect when the CD
input is chosen. (You can listen to any similar type of effect using the
EFFECT
▲
and
▼
buttons on the front panel or the FX
▲
and
▼
buttons
on the remote control.) If you select USE LAST, the SDP-3 will load the
last effect used for the selected input. Any effect can be assigned to any
or all of the eight inputs.
