Connecting The Dfp-3000 To The Cp-500 With The Cp-500 As Master - Sony DFP-D3000 Quick Start Manual

9.6.2 Connecting the DFP-3000 to the CP-500 with the CP-500 as master.

When using the CP-500 as the master, use the DFP-D3000 for only the playback of the SDDS. This
setting has the following problems.
1. The CP-500 input and output are unbalanced while those of the DFP-D3000 are balanced, therefore
compared to the CP-500, effects of external noises are less.
2. The powerful theatre control features and easy setup of the A- and B-chain of the DFP-3000 will be
disabled.
3. Channel level trims of the CP-500 will affect the SDDS channels.
4. The CP-500 analog bass and treble controls will also affect SDDS playback.
However, when using the CP-500 as the master in consideration of the ease of operations, set the CP-500
and DFP-D3000 as follows.
1. System configuration
2. Logic wiring connections

higher) is assigned to SK 6 on the CP-500. On the DFP-D3000, SDDS must be assigned to Preset 8.
