EXAMPLES OF SOURCES

The following examples show how to set up sources to cater

for more advanced applications.

Defining two sources that use the same input

Usually each source you define will correspond to a different

input on the back panel. However, there are occasions when

it is useful to be able to define two sources using the same

input, and the SP31.7 allows you to do this.

The following example shows how to define two sources,

with aliases MOVIES and MUSIC, designed for use with a

DVD player. Choosing the MOVIES source selects the PLII

CINEMA surround mode, which is ideal for movie

soundtracks. Choosing the MUSIC source selects the 2-CH

surround mode, for the best possible reproduction of audio

CDs.

The definition of each of the two sources are shown in the

following screen displays:

Defining a multi-channel source

If you have a source that provides multi-channel analog

outputs, such as a DVD Audio or SACD player, you can define

a source that allows you to connect this to the SP31.7,

bypassing the internal surround processor.

•Connect the multi-channel inputs to analog inputs 5, 6, 7,

and 8 as shown in the following table:

Input Left Right

Analog 5 Front left Front right

Analog 6 Surround left Surround right

Analog 7 Center Subwoofer

Analog 8 Surround back left Surround back right

• Define a source with the AUDIO option set to

EXTERNAL and the VIDEO option set to the video

input used for the DVD Audio or SACD player.
