Controls and
Indicators

The Rear Panel

CAUTION: Never make or break any connections
to the CP-3 PLUS with the rear-panel power ON.
Make sure any associated amplifiers have been
turned off for at least one minute before turning
this master power switch on or off.
1. Power On/Off
The master power switch
should be left ON when the
unit is in regular use. When
the CP-3 will not be used for
an extended period of time,
or whenever you are con-
necting or disconnecting any
cables to the unit, this switch
should be turned OFF.
2. Control Option
This 5-pin DIN connector is
provided for interface to ex-
ternal controllers. Pins 1 and
2: ground; Pin 3: Power on
+5V whenever surround pro-
cessor in on (used to control
external power strips); Pin 4:
no internal connection; Pin 5:
assigned and unavailable.
3. Power Connector
Connect the supplied AC
power cord here, then plug
the cord into an unswitched
outlet. Be sure that the power
cord is firmly seated in this
connector.

4. Video In and Video Out
The three video inputs are
switched with their corre-
sponding audio inputs and
fed to VIDEO OUT. VIDEO
OUT should be connected to
a video input on your monitor
for the On Screen display to
work. The CP-3 PLUS will gen-
erate a blue background field
if there is no video signal in
the selected input. If the
CP-3 PLUS is turned off via the
front panel or either remote,
the last input selected will
continue to be passed to the
video output. If the rear-panel
master power switch is
turned off, or if AC power is
removed from the unit, the
video output will default to
Input 1.
5. Tape Out
This provides an unproc-
essed, buffered audio output
of whatever input has been
selected. This output will be
PLUS
active if the CP-3 is
turned off via remote, or front
panel, but is shut off when
the rear-panel master power
switch is turned off.

monaural outputs for the
Center speaker amplifier and
