SETUP & CALIBRATION OF THE SP2
NOTE: .In most operating menu modes the last segment of line 2 of the display will either show an “X” for EXIT, or an “>” (arrow) to indicate more menu items.
Choosing (highlighting) the “X” position in the display and pressing the Select button will “EXIT” back to the previous menu, or exit the menu mode entirely. If an “>” appears, continue pressing the menu navigation arrow buttons to reveal more menu options.

IMPORTANT: .When .using .the .Pink .Noise .genera- tor .within .the .SP2 .for .speaker .level .calibration, .the . salient .point .is .that .all .channels .measure .equal .dB. . After .pushing .the .test .button, .the .pink .noise .will . start .in .the .front .left .speaker. .Record .the .dB .level . from .this .speaker .(with .the .level .trim .value .at .0 .dB . on .the .LCD .Display .or .on .the .Video .Monitor .when . using .the .Bryston .video .switcher), .and .adjust .all . the .others .to .match .it. .It .is .not .critical .to .reach . some .specific .dB .level .(ex. .85 .dB), .it .is .more . important .that .all .channels .are .at .equal .levels. .
NOTE: .If for any reason you are not sure that you can accomplish this calibration task or have any doubts as to how it should be done, please contact your dealer or Bryston technical support BEFORE attempting this process. Most Bryston Dealers can provide this service. Please contact your dealer for their policies and procedures in this regard. .
Explanation of ‘Saved Settings per Source’ Feature
The .SP2 .will .remember .different .mode .settings .for . each .source. .Every .time .a .source .is .engaged .it .will . recall .the .following .settings: .
. ● Digital. .Status .
●Listening .Mode .(Surround, .THX, .Stereo, .Mono) .
. ● Surround .Mode .
●Bypass. .Status
. ● SubWoofer level

●ES Control
In .order .to .fully .enjoy .the .capabilities .of .the .SP2 .
To .accomplish .this .process .the .following .tools .are . needed: .
1:Tape measure .or .other .means .of .determining . the .distance .of .each .speaker .from .the .chosen .
listening .positions. .
2: Sound. Level Meter. .This .device .insures .that . all .loudspeaker .levels .are .precisely .matched . and .set .accurately. .This .step .cannot .accurately . be .done .by .ear, .a .test .instrument .should .be . used .to .ensure .proper .calibration. .(The .Radio . Shack .Analog .SPL .meter .is .inexpensive .and . eminently .suitable .for .this .task. .Your .dealer .
. To .save .these .settings, .make .the .preferable . mode .changes .and .adjustments .per source, .then . press .the .SAVE .button .on .the .SP2 .remote .control . before .switching .to .another .input. .
NOTE 1: You. must set the speaker configuration manually for each input, within the LCD setup menu.
NOTE 2: The. Setup Test Noise mode will over- write Rear and Sub level settings for ALL inputs.
Setting the Speaker Configuration
Before .calibrating .levels .you .must .first .tell .the .SP2 . about .your .loudspeaker .configuration. .To .do .this: .
. 1: First. .enter .the .main .menu .by .pressing .on .any .
