PLUS

CP-3 Digital Surround Processor
The CP-3 PLUS contains four basic operating modes: Panorama, Ambience,
Reverb and Surround. Each of these modes is labeled on the Expanded
remote, with its variations. Pushing one of the buttons numbered 1-15
during normal operation will load that mode. Whenever the CP-3
turned on, it will load the mode that was running when it was turned off.
Each mode has a number of parameters that you can vary with the three
PARAMETER buttons. The parameters for each mode are described later in
this section. Pressing PARAM displays the parameters available for the
mode you are using, with a cursor marking the currently adjustable pa-
rameter. The first time you press either PARAM
of the parameter will be displayed. After that, pressing PARAM
increase the value of the parameter (or turn the function ON), pressing
PARAM will decrease the parameter value (or turn the function OFF).
This will be true even if you have set the display to time out and the
parameter is no longer shown on the screen.
The CP-3 contains a total of 45 mode registers organized into three Banks
PLUS
of 15. Each of the 15 mode buttons will load one of the factory Presets labeled
on the Expanded remote, or one of the 15 User registers in Bank A or B,
depending on which Bank you have chosen. The BANK button toggles
between the Preset Bank and the two User Banks. For example, if you are
running USER A 7, pressing BANK will switch to USER B 7, pressing BANK
again will switch to PRESET 7, pressing it again will switch back to USER
A 7, and so on. The factory Preset modes are denoted by the label: PRESET
in the upper left of the display, with the mode number beneath. The mode
title appears in the right half of the display, with the mode name above and
the variation below.
While running a Preset you can change any of its parameters to see how they
affect the sound. These changes will be lost when you turn the CP-3
or when you change modes, unless you explicitly store the changes. (See
Page 32.) Changes made in the value of parameters within a User mode,
however, are stored immediately and automatically. This includes set-
tings of EFFECT LEVEL, but not the settings of the system parameters:
LEFT/RIGHT BALANCE, and VOLUME. Settings of FRONT/REAR
BALANCE must be explicitly stored with the mode.
When the CP-3 PLUS leaves the factory each User register contains a duplicate
of the Presets. If you maintain this arrangement, the labels on the remote
will continue to describe the contents of both registers. You can, however,
store a version of any mode in any of the User registers. For instance you can
store a Reverb mode in User Register A1 even though button 1 on the
expanded remote is labeled PANORAMA NORMAL.
The CP-3 PLUS 's User registers can be cleared and reloaded with duplicates of
the factory Preset modes at any time. Refer to Chapter 4 Troubleshooting:
Restoring Defaults.
