CP-3 Digital Surround Processor

5. Bank

The BANK button switches between the three register banks: the Presets and the two User register Banks (A &

B)where customized modes may be stored. The mode number doesn’t change: if you are using Preset 9, pressing BANK once switches to User A9, press- ing BANK again switches to USER B9, and pressing BANK once more selects Preset 9.

6. Parameter

The three parameter buttons allow selection and adjust- ment of variable parameters within each mode. Pushing PARAM displays the pa- rameter menu with a move- able cursor for 5 seconds; pushing it again before the display changes moves the cursor to the next parameter. Pressing PARAM ▲ or ▼ will display and adjust the cur- rent parameter (whether or not PARAM has been pushed.) A single push of ei- ther of these buttons displays the parameter; another push changes the parameter by one unit. Holding PARAM ▲ or ▼ for more than 1 second causes the values to change rapidly in an auto-repeatmode.

7. Effects*

▲and ▼ adjust the level of all signals added by the CP-3.

8. Mutes

MAIN MUTE turns off all out- puts and lights both MAIN and EFX MUTE LEDs. Push- ing EFX MUTE while in sys- tem- mute mode turns the effects alone back on. EFX MUTE alternately turns off and on all signals added by the CP-3. Use it to compare the sound with and without CP-3 processing, or as a simple way to play normal two-speaker stereo.

9. Balance*

BALANCE: The four balance buttons adjust the levels of the rear speakers relative to the sides and fronts, and the left/right balance of all speak- ers: front, sides and rear. It should be used instead of the balance control on your preamp or receiver.

10. Volume*

▲and ▼ simultaneously ad- just the level of all channels. These should be used in- stead of the volume control on your preamp or receiver.

11. Input

INPUT buttons 1-4 select the input source and can be pro- grammed to automatically engage the desired operat- ing mode.

*The first push of either of these buttons displays the current value for 2 seconds; another push during that time increases or decreases the displayed value. Holding the button down for 1 second engages auto-re- peat, changing values rapidly.

Note: Unless otherwise indicated, all references to the remote control in this manual
