SET UP and CALIBRATION OF THE SP1
NOTE: In most operating menu modes the last segment of line 2 of the
display will show an "X" for EXIT (a sample screen is shown below - fig
10). Choosing (highlighting) this position in the display and pressing the
Select button (see below) will "EXIT" back to the previous menu or out of
the particular menu or mode completely depending on where within the
menu structure you are at the time. A more detailed explanation is given
below in the section on menu control buttons.

In order to fully enjoy the capabilities of the SP1 you or your
dealer must first set-up and calibrate the SP1.This is a critical
step in insuring that all your loudspeakers are properly
designated within the unit and that all levels and delays are
properly set.
To accomplish this process the following tools are needed:
Tape measure or other means of determining the distance of
each speaker from the chosen listening positions.
Sound Level Meter - This device insures that all loudspeaker
levels are precisely matched and set accurately.This step
cannot accurately be done by ear, a test instrument should be
used to ensure proper calibration. (The Radio Shack Analog
SPL meter is inexpensive and eminently suitable for this task.
Your dealer may have one.)
PLEASE NOTE: If for any reason you are not sure that you can accomplish
this calibration task or have any doubts as to how it should be done,
please contact your dealer or Bryston technical support BEFORE
attempting this process. Most Bryston Dealers can provide this service.
Please contact your dealer for their policies and procedures in this regard.
