CONNECTIONS

1:BALANCED OUTPUTS

2:UNBALANCED OUTPUTS

The .SP2 .offers .both .balanced .(5.1) .and .unbalanced . (7.1) .outputs .for .power .amplifiers .or .powered . loudspeaker .systems. .The .type .you .select .to .use . will .be .determined .by .the .input .configuration .of . your .amplifiers .or .self-powered .loudspeakers. .

NOTE: .XLR and RCA connectors can be simultane- ously utilized. (Example - Surround fill channels) Back channel(s) are only available from the RCA outputs.

3: Analog Inputs

A.paired .stereo .analog .input .with .gold .RCA .jacks . (labeled .L .and .R, .for .Left .and .Right) .is .provided .for . each .source .button .on .the .front .panel. .The .sensi- tivity .of .these .Inputs .is .set .to .the .industry .stan- dard .of .2 .Vrms, .which .should .accommodate .the . vast .majority .of .available .source .components. .In . Bypass .mode, .the .input .sensitivity .is .equivalent .to . the .BP26 .preamplifier. .

. A .5.1 .channel .analog .input .is .also .provided .on . 6 .RCA .connectors. .This .is .typically .used .for .Multi- channel .DVD-Audio, .SACD, .or .external .processors. . In .Bypass .5.1ch .mode, .the .signal .from .the .5.1 . channel .analog .inputs .(RCA) .will .be .routed .through . the .volume .controls .and .to .their .respective .out- puts, .balanced .and .unbalanced. .No .bass .manage- ment .is .available .with .the .5.1ch .bypass .mode. .

4: Digital Audio Coaxial Inputs

The .TV/SAT, .DVD, .CD, .and .AUX .front .panel .select- able .sources .are .also .supplied .with .a .standard . SPDIF .gold .RCA .jack .digital .audio .input. .These . four .inputs .will .accept .any .standard .SPDIF .source . including .DAT, .CDR .and .similar .components. .

5:TOSLINK Digital Audio Optical Inputs

The .SP2 .offers .two .assignable .TOSLINK .optical . inputs. .These .can .be .designated .to .any .input .using . the .OS .menu .(“Other .Settings”)on .the .LCD .screen. .

Please .note .that .if .you .choose .to .assign .an .optical . input .to .an .input .with .a .coaxial .input, .the .coaxial . will .be .over-ridden .and .the .optical .input .signal .will . be .used .by .the .SP2. .

PUSH	The .pro .model .replaces .the .two .TOSLINK .
	connectors .with .a .single .AES/EBU .Digital .
	connector. .

Setting the Optical Audio Input Assignment .

.1. . Enter .the .main .menu .by .pressing .on .one .of . .

. the. .menu .buttons .on .the .SP2 .front .panel. . Move .the .cursor .to .“OS”. .Hit .‘Select’ .- .You . are .now .in .the .‘Other .Settings’ .(Optical/THX) . Menu. .

.2. Move. .the .cursor .to .the .Optical .Input .(OPT1 .or . OPT2) .you .want .to .change .the .input .assign- ment .for. .Hit .‘Select’. .(see figure below)

3. Now. .you .can .assign .the .optical .input .to .any . one .of .the .6 .inputs .selectors. . Doing .this .will . override .the .digital .coax .connector .on .that . input. .Hit .‘Select’ .when .finished. .

NOTE: .On the pro model, ‘AES’ will show up in the ‘Other Settings’ Menu (instead of OPT1 and OPT2), to setup the AES/EBU input assign- ment. .

6: Tape/Recording Outputs

The .SP2 .provides .two .analog .outputs .for .the .TAPE . and .VCR .sources. .The .front .panel .selected .input . signal .is .always .routed .to .these .tape .outputs, . except .when .TAPE .or .VCR .is .selected. .In .those . cases .the .appropriate .output .is .automatically . muted .to .prevent .feedback. .

. 7: Remote 12V Trigger Outputs .

Two .trigger .outputs .are .provided. .The .output . labeled .“ON/OFF” .provides .a .12V .voltage .level . whenever .the .unit .is .fully .powered .up. .When .the . unit .goes .into .standby, .the .level .is .0 .Volts. .The . output .labeled .“AUX” .is .programmable .from .the . LCD .menu .as .described .below. .This .means .that . the .terminal .supplies .the .12 .Volt .signal .only .when . you .switch .to .certain, .specified .inputs. .The .Centre . (Common .or .Ground) .terminal .is .always .used .with . the .“ON/OFF” .or .“AUX” .terminals .to .complete .the . circuit .loop. .The .12 .Volt .connector .will .accept .1/4 .

-.inch .stripped .wire .ends, .inserted .into .the .square . holes .provided, .and .the .adjacent .screws .carefully . tightened .to .hold .them .in .place. .These .can .be .used . to .control .any .Bryston .Power .amplifier .and .many . other .components .such .as .motorized .screens .and . drapes. .Be .sure .to .determine .what .type .of .trigger . signal .the .selected .components .requires .and .what . function .will .be .enabled .by .the .trigger .signal’s .volt- age. .

Programming the AUX Trigger Output .

.1. Enter. .the .main .menu .by .pressing .on .one .of . the .menu .buttons .on .the .SP2 .front .panel. .

Move .the .cursor .to .“OS”. .Hit .‘Select’ .- .You .are . now .in .the .Other .Settings .(Optical/THX) .Menu. .

.2. .Move. .the .cursor .to .“T”. .(T .= .Trigger) .Hit . ‘Select’. .Now .you .can .assign .the .AUX .Trigger . output .to .ON .or .OFF, .for .each .of .the .6 .input . sources.
