Selecting a source
The SP32 allows you to define up to 15
sources. Each source can use one of the
seven digital and ten analog inputs,
and any source can be combined with
one of the video inputs. Alternatively, a
multi-channel source, called EXTERNAL
7.1, can be defined using analog inputs
5 to 8.
When the SP32 is first supplied the
nine standard sources shown below are
already set up for you.
You can simply disable any of these
sources that you do not need; see Input
settings , page 6. You can also change
any source to use different inputs,
or configure your own sources with
any name you choose and using any
particular inputs as appropriate for the
source.
To select a source
•
Turn the SELECTOR control on the
front panel until the name of the
source is shown on the front panel
display.
•
Alternatively, press the A or V
buttons on the remote control to
step between sources.
