ADVANCED CONNECTING
Connecting to a television or
monitor
Connect the appropriate output to your television or
monitor. If you are using video sources of more than one
type you may need to make a connection from each video
output to your monitor as the SP31 only performs
conversion from S-Video to composite.
If your television includes a tuner output you can use the
SP31 to perform switching between the television tuner
and your other video sources such as DVD or Laser Disc.
In this case connect the television tuner output to the
video input corresponding to your TV source. If your
television does not provide a tuner output you will need to
switch the television between its internal tuner and the
external video input.
Record outputs
The SP31 provides two digital record outputs, one optical
TOSlink output and one coaxial SPDIF.
Note that no D/A or A/D conversion is carried out. Only
digital sources may be recorded from the digital outputs.
Only analog sources may be recorded from the analog
outputs.
For connection to analog record outputs the SP31
provides one pair of audio outputs, one component video,
one S-video output and one composite.
Data and RS232
The DATA input allows you to connect the SP31 to an
external interface. The RS232 port will allow you to
connect to a home automation installation system. It will
also allow for authorized personnel to connect to the SP31
for service and future upgrades.
DC-trigger outputs (12 V)
The DC-trigger output allows you to control surround
equipment like home installations via the menu-option.
Connecting to the
Primare DVD30 Universal DIsc
player
The Primare DVD30 Universal Disc Player is an ideal
source for use with the Primare SP31, to give superb
quality video and 5.1 channel digital or analog surround.
• Connect the S-Video or component output
(recommended), or composite output, from the DVD
player to an appropriate video input on the SP31.
• Connect the digital audio output from the DVD player
to digital input 2 on the SP31 or use the digital
AES/EBU connection (recommended).
