CP-3 Digital Surround Processor

Calibration

In addition to the front-panel LCD, the CP-3 contains a character generator for a video overlay display on television sets. Since the On-Screen Display is capable of showing the full menu of options available at any point, calibration of the system is faster and easier if the CP-3 video output is connected to a video input on a television monitor.

Adjustments to the on-screen display are made from the Display Adjust menu. To display this menu, press SETUP. The display will show the options available in the Setup menu. Press PARAM to move the cursor to "DISPLAY ADJUST", then press either PARAM or PARAM to display the Display Adjust menu.

This menu allows you to choose both the position and duration of items displayed on-screen during normal operation.

Adjusting the position allows you to move the CP-3 display items to a location where they will not interfere with any other video overlays your system may generate.

The "DISPLAY TIME" option allows you to choose to have the on-screen display always off, always on, or on for a two-second duration. Note that if you choose to have the display "time out", this will not affect the display of the Setup menu. Note also that parameter changes will still be effected when you make adjustments with PARAM or , even if the display is inactive.

If you choose "Always Off", you will not be able to use the video overlay, and even setup will have to be done using only the front-panel LCD.

Once installation and calibration procedures are completed, if you find the input level meters visually distracting, you can turn them off from the Display Adjust menu. Simply press PARAM to select "LEVEL METERS" at the end of this menu, then press PARAM twice to select OFF.

Press SETUP to return to the main menu.
