NOTES
SYSTEM SETUP MENU:
SPEAKER DISTANCES:
Units for speaker distances are set in the SYSTEM
> MISC. menu. Speaker distances are measured as
radii from the listeners position. See the illustration
SUGGESTED SURROUND SPEAKER PLACEMENT on
page 18.
DIGITAL SOURCES:
Each of the Source Select buttons, on the front panel
and on the remote control (DVD, CBL/SAT, TUNER,
etc) can be programmed to select a digital input from
one of the four co-axial SPDIF inputs or one of the 3
TOSLINK optical inputs.
MISCELLANEOUS:
HEADPHONES:
The signal level at the headphone jack can be
adjusted from -12 dB to +6 dB to match head-
phone level more closely to the speaker listening
levels
PRESET VOLUME:
The volume level at power-up can be pre-set to
anywhere between -60 and +30dB
AUX Outputs:
The L-AUX and R-AUX auxilliary output jacks
(XLR -male balanced) can be set, by this menu
item, to be either another Left/Right stereo pair
of outputs or another sub-woofer and another
centre channel surround outputs.
As a stereo pair, the signal is analog if the SP3 is
in 2 CHANNEL BYPASS mode or otherwise it is a
digital downmix from multi-channel inputs.
As set to provide another sub-woofer and centre
channel output, the signals for these channels are
the same as the signal that would be present on
the main Sub-woofer and Centre channel outputs
connectors. These simply provide a convenient
way of using two centre channel speakers and/or
two sub-woofer speakers.

AUTOSAVE:
.
W hen enabled (ON) settings are saved whenever
you backup through the menu by pressing the left
arrow button (). If Autosave is OFF settings will
NOT be saved.
TRIGGER DELAY:
The SP3 can be set to produce a 12Vdc trigger
signals on any of the three Trigger Output jacks.
See item 14 on page 9 (TRIGGER INPUTS &
OUTPUTS). The tip of the two conductor (3mm)
phone jack is positive and the sleeve is ground
(0v).
TESTS (Pink Noise):
Will put a burst of pink noise, sequentially, on all speak-
ers while displaying which output the test signal is being
sent to. This is intended to help you verify that the con-
nections are correct. Within the System Setup Test
menu, move the cursor to select AUTOCYCLE and press
the right arrow button () to initiate the test (and the
left arrow button () to stop it, if desired). The auto-
cycling will stop on its own once all outputs have been
sent a pink noise burst. To operate the pink noise test
manually from the front panel, position the cursor at
MANUAL and press the right arrow button each time
you wish to advance through the outputs, sequentially
putting pink noise bursts on one speaker after another.
Press the left arrow button will exit the test sequence.
To use the BR3 remote control to initiate the test
press the TEST button on the remote . To change form
AUTOCYCLE to MANUAL press and hold the TEST but-
ton.
The volume control can be used to adjust the out-
put levels during the test.
SYSTEM SETUP MENU:
SPEAKER SIZE:
Large speakers are assumed to be able to handle all
frequencies down to at least 40 Hz. A speaker defined
as SMALL has the low frequencies filtered out. The
default crossover point for the low frequencies is 80 Hz
but this can be changed in software (SOURCE SETUP
> CROSSOVER) from 40 to 200 Hz.
The speaker size menu also allows for turning the
CENTRE, SURROUND & BACK speakers off by select-
ing NONE. Also, the BACK speaker setting allows for
choosing from one or two back speakers. By turning
