Author Topic: JSD-80 and Surround EX Lyle Romer Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1400 From: Davie, FL, USA Registered: May 2002 posted 08-20-2009 02:06 PM                     Surround EX processing is listed as a feature of the JSD-80 and there is one mention in the manual about setting the speaker configuration to "EX". I couln't find any mention about how you engage/disengage EX based on whether or not the movie is recorded with it. Any ideas on how EX is implemented/enabled/disabled in the JSD-80.  |  IP: Logged Clint Koch Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1435 From: San Luis Obispo, CA, USA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 08-20-2009 04:00 PM                     On the JSD-80 Laptop Interface Software click on the "file" in the upper left hand corner. Under there you will see "Channel Configuration". There you will see the different channel configurations. Click the "Back Surround Channels". If you need anything else call USL at 805-549-0161 and ask for JSD support.  |  IP: Logged Lyle Romer Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1400 From: Davie, FL, USA Registered: May 2002 posted 08-20-2009 05:18 PM                     I saw that in the manual but how do you turn it on/off based on the feature and if it is EX encoded or not? We've had the JSD-80 for months and I never even realized it was EX capable until today.  |  IP: Logged Demetris Thoupis Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1240 From: Aradippou, Larnaca, Cyprus Registered: Apr 2001 posted 08-21-2009 12:16 AM                     Considering Lyle that your wiring is also capable of the EX. In any case you would benefit only from Digital sources and not from analogue.

The SA10 Surround EX adapter has an engage/disengage button.  |  IP: Logged Clint Koch Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1435 From: San Luis Obispo, CA, USA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 08-24-2009 12:23 PM                     To turn it off you would need to go into the software and re-configure the channels. If you are set up for back surrounds and not five stage channels I would just let it stay in the back surround configuration.  |  IP: Logged
