GETTING PROCESSOR STATUS
When you are not in a menu, pressing ENTER will bring up a two or three line status message on Zone 1 (A)
video outputs. A single line status message is also available on the processor’s front panel display. This display
will also pop up automatically whenever you change sources or whenever the selected source information
changes. The video type is very important if you are using mixed composite and S-video sources since it will tell
you how you must set your monitor for the best picture. The bitstream and channel information is particularly
important with DVDs since they may contain multiple soundtracks. When you initially start the DVD you may get a
Dolby Digital 2.0 soundtrack. To get the best possible sound, you may have to use the DVD player’s menu system
to get to a Dolby Digital or DTS 5.1 channel soundtrack. If you ever need to call B&K regarding a problem with
your processor be sure to note the status display before calling.
