Operating Your P/SP-1500

Refer to Diagram on Page 9

Using the Remote Control with On Screen and Front Panel Displays

The remote control included with your P/SP-1500 gives you complete access to all functions including power, direct input selection, modes, volume, and calibration. The advanced on-screen and front panel displays keep you informed of all of the various functions of the P/SP-1500.

On and Off Switches

There are separate On and Off remote control commands for the P/SP-1500 and a combined On-Offbutton on the front panel. Press the On button to turn the unit on and press the Off button to turn it off. When the P/SP-1500 is first turned on, the on-screen display shows the previously selected input, mode, input level, and master volume level. At the same time, the front panel indicates the selected input, one of three key processing modes, active channels, and master volume level. The on-screen status remains on the screen for about four seconds. Whenever you turn on the P/SP-1500, it displays the source, mode, and volume that were present when the unit was last turned off.

Pressing the Display button will show you the status of the P/SP-1500’s primary functions: selected input, processing mode, input level, and master volume level. This display will remain on until you press Display again or unless the unit is turned off. If there is no video source playing when you press display, the P/SP-1500 shows the current status on a blue background. If a video source is playing, the status appears over the video signal.
