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 headphone level more
closely to the speaker listening levels
PRESET VOLUME:
The volume level at power-up can be pre-set to any-
where 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 sur-
round 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 chan-
nel 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:
When 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 posi-
tive and the sleeve is ground (0v).
TESTS (Pink Noise):
Will put a burst of pink noise, sequentially, on all speakers
while displaying which output the test signal is being sent to.
This is intended to help you verify that the connections and
speaker levels are correct. Within the System Setup  Test
menu, move the cursor to select PINK NOISE 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,
press the right arrow button again each time you wish to
advance through the outputs, sequentially putting bursts on
one speaker after another. In this case the noise test switches
to "manual" mode and each channel will play until the right
or left arrow is pressed again. Pressing 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 the TEST button again To advance the
channel from the remote press right arrow again; to exit press
left arrow button.
The volume control can be used to adjust the output
levels during the test.
SOURCE SETUP MENU:
SPEAKER SIZE:
Large speakers are assumed to be able to handle all frequen-
cies 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 selecting NONE.
Also, the BACK speaker setting allows for choosing from one
