Setting up the sources
This chapter gives details of the standard inputs that are defined when the SP31.7 is first supplied.
It then explains how to modify the standard inputs, or define new inputs, to give you total
flexibility in the way you set up the SP31.7 in your own system.
STANDARD SOURCES
The SP31.7 Multi-Channel Processor allows you to define up
to 15 sources, referred to as INPUT 1 to INPUT 15.
The SP31.7 Multi-Channel Processor is supplied with the
standard sources shown in the table below already defined:
Source Audio Video Surround mode Description
CD Analog 1 None Bypass High quality CD
player
DVD Digital 2 S-Video 1 2-CH DVD player
Ta peD Digital 3 None PLII PL Digital tape
recorder or
minidisc player
Laser Digital 7 S-Video 2 PCM 2-CH LaserDisc
player
Tuner Analog 2 None Stereo FM radio tuner
TV Analog 3 Video 1 PLII PL Television or
monitor
TapeA Analog 4 None Stereo Analog tape
output
Sat Analog 5 Video 2 PLII PL Satellite
receiver
For each source you can define:
• A name for the source, to identify it on the front panel
display.
• The analog or digital audio input used for the source.
• The video input used for the source, if the source
includes video.
• The standard surround mode used for the source.
• For analog sources, an offset to balance the loudness
when switching between sources.
If this standard set of sources meets your requirements, you
will get excellent results by using them, and you can ignore
the remainder of this chapter.
If these standard sources meet all your requirements, but
include additional sources that you do not need, you may like
to remove the unused sources to avoid having to step past
them when selecting sources from the front panel or remote
control. To do this, see the next section, Removing sources .
Alternatively, it may be that these standard sources
generally meet your requirements, with one or two minor
changes. For example, if your CD player does not provide a
digital output you can modify the CD source so that it uses
one of the analog inputs instead of the digital input as
currently defined. To make changes to the existing sources
see Editing sources , page 20.
Finally, you may prefer to create your own set of sources to
suit the particular requirements of your system. To do this
you should read all the remaining sections in this chapter.
REMOVING SOURCES
Every source can be enabled or disabled. If a source is
enabled it will appear in the sequence of sources when you
select sources using the INPUT SELECTOR on the front
panel or the A and V buttons on the remote control. If a
source is disabled it cannot be selected, but the settings are
retained in case you want to enable the source again at a
later date.
