Setting .The .Optical .Input .Assign - Bryston SP2 Owner's Manual

CONNECTIONS
1: BALANCED OUTPUTS
2: UNBALANCED OUTPUTS
The .SP2 .offers .both .balanced .(5 1) .and .unbalanced .
(7 1) .outputs .for .power .amplifiers .or .powered .
loudspeaker .systems .The .type .you .select .to .use .
will .be .determined .by .the .input .configuration .of .
your .amplifiers .or .self-powered .loudspeakers .
:
NOTE .XLR and RCA connectors can be simultane-
ously utilized. (Example - Surround fill channels)
Back channel(s) are only available from the RCA
outputs.
3: ANALOG INPUTS
A .paired .stereo .analog .input .with .gold .RCA .jacks .
(labeled .L .and .R, .for .Left .and .Right) .is .provided .for .
each .source .button .on .the .front .panel .The .sensi-
tivity .of .these .Inputs .is .set .to .the .industry .stan-
dard .of .2 .Vrms, .which .should .accommodate .the .
vast .majority .of .available .source .components .In .
Bypass .mode, .the .input .sensitivity .is .equivalent .to .
the .BP26 .preamplifier .
. . A .5 1 .channel .analog .input .is .also .provided .on .
6 .RCA .connectors . .This .is .typically .used .for .Multi-
channel .DVD-Audio, .SACD, .or .external .processors .
In .Bypass .5 1ch .mode, .the .signal .from .the .5 1 .
channel .analog .inputs .(RCA) .will .be .routed .through .
the .volume .controls .and .to .their .respective .out-
puts, .balanced .and .unbalanced .No .bass .manage-
ment .is .available .with .the .5 1ch .bypass .mode .
4: DIGITAL AUDIO COAXIAL INPUTS
The .TV/SAT, .DVD, .CD, .and .AUX .front .panel .select-
able .sources .are .also .supplied .with .a .standard .
SPDIF .gold .RCA .jack .digital .audio .input .These .
four .inputs .will .accept .any .standard .SPDIF .source .
including .DAT, .CDR .and .similar .components .
5: TOSLINK DIGITAL AUDIO OPTICAL INPUTS
The .SP2 .offers .two .assignable .TOSLINK .optical .
inputs .These .can .be .designated .to .any .input .using .
the .OS .menu .("Other .Settings")on .the .LCD .screen .
Please .note .that .if .you .choose .to .assign .an .optical .
input .to .an .input .with .a .coaxial .input, .the .coaxial .
will .be .over-ridden .and .the .optical .input .signal .will .
be .used .by .the .SP2 .
The .pro .model .replaces .the .two .TOSLINK .
PUSH
connectors .with .a .single .AES/EBU .Digital .
connector .
AES/EBU
Setting the Optical Audio Input Assignment .
. 1 . Enter .the .main .menu .by .pressing .on .one .of . . .
. . . the .menu .buttons .on .the .SP2 .front .panel .
Move .the .cursor .to ."OS" .Hit .'Select' .- .You .
are .now .in .the .'Other .Settings' .(Optical/THX) .
Menu .
. 2 . . . Move .the .cursor .to .the .Optical .Input .(OPT1 .or .
OPT2) .you .want .to .change .the .input .assign-
ment .for .Hit .'Select' .(see figure below)
3 . . Now .you .can .assign .the .optical .input .to .any .
one .of .the .6 .inputs .selectors . . Doing .this .will .
override .the .digital .coax .connector .on .that .
input .Hit .'Select' .when .finished .
:
N OTE . .On the pro model, 'AES' will show up
in the 'Other Settings' Menu (instead of OPT1
and OPT2), to setup the AES/EBU input assign-
ment. .
6: TAPE/RECORDING OUTPUTS
The .SP2 .provides .two .analog .outputs .for .the .TAPE .
and .VCR .sources . .The .front .panel .selected .input .
signal .is .always .routed .to .these .tape .outputs, .
except .when .TAPE .or .VCR .is .selected .In .those .
cases .the .appropriate .output .is .automatically .
muted .to .prevent .feedback .
7: REMOTE 12V TRIGGER OUTPUTS
.
Two .trigger .outputs .are .provided .The .output .
labeled ."ON/OFF" .provides .a .12V .voltage .level .
whenever .the .unit .is .fully .powered .up .When .the .
unit .goes .into .standby, .the .level .is .0 .Volts .The .
output .labeled ."AUX" .is .programmable .from .the .
LCD .menu .as .described .below .This .means .that .
the .terminal .supplies .the .12 .Volt .signal .only .when .
you .switch .to .certain, .specified .inputs .The .Centre .
(Common .or .Ground) .terminal .is .always .used .with .
the ."ON/OFF" .or ."AUX" .terminals .to .complete .the .
circuit .loop .The .12 .Volt .connector .will .accept .1/4 .
- .inch .stripped .wire .ends, .inserted .into .the .square .
holes .provided, .and .the .adjacent .screws .carefully .
tightened .to .hold .them .in .place .These .can .be .used .
to .control .any .Bryston .Power .amplifier .and .many .
other .components .such .as .motorized .screens .and .
drapes .Be .sure .to .determine .what .type .of .trigger .
signal .the .selected .components .requires .and .what .
function .will .be .enabled .by .the .trigger .signal's .volt-
age .
P rogramming the AUX Trigger Output .
. 1 . . Enter .the .main .menu .by .pressing .on .one .of .
the .menu .buttons .on .the .SP2 .front .panel .
Move .the .cursor .to ."OS" .Hit .'Select' .- .You .are .
now .in .the .Other .Settings .(Optical/THX) .Menu .
. 2 . . . Move .the .cursor .to ."T" .(T .= .Trigger) . .Hit .
'Select' .Now .you .can .assign .the .AUX .Trigger .
