SP31 MULTI-CHANNEL PROCESSOR USER GUIDE
USING MENUS
Extra surround mode
The SP31 allows you to add one or two more channels to
your surround system.
•On the MAIN MENU highlight the EXTRA SURR
option.
Making recordings
The SP31 Multi-Channel Processor allows you to make a
recording of a digital source to the two digital record
outputs, or of an analog source to the analog record
output. If the source also includes video, a copy of the
video is made to the corresponding composite video or
S-Video output.
To make a recording you simply select the source you
want to record. Once set up, the recording is not affected
by the source you are listening to, the volume setting, or
the setting of any other parameters on the SP31.
Reducing the sound dynamics for
late night listening.
When listening at low volume, it’s easy to lose the low
level sounds completely- including some of the dialog.
Switching on LATE NIGHT can help things by bringing
up the low level sounds, while keeping the lid on high
level peaks.
The OFF setting leaves the original dynamics intact; ON
‘squashes’ the dynamics, exactly how much difference you
can hear between the settings will depend on the material
you’re watching.
To set up a recording
•Press the button on the front panel or remote
control to display the MAIN MENU.
•Use the SELECTOR on the front panel, or the or
buttons on the remote control to highlight the
RECORD option.
•Use the VOLUME control on the front panel or the
or buttons on the remote control to choose the
source you want to record from:
Alternatively, select NORMAL to make the record outputs
follow the currently selected source, or OFF to mute the
record outputs.
• Change the menu option to ON if you want to add
another channel. When set to OFF, the channels to be
used are at maximum 5.1.
The settings for the extra channel/s are the same as the one
set in SURR BACK at page 20.
