Customising DSP5000: an overview

DSP5000 is a very sophisticated device, with a number of options which allow you to set up exactly the system you need.

Programming of DSP5000s should take place after you have set up the speakers and sorted out most of the connections. If you first get the speakers working with some kind of digital input (e.g. a CD player), and with some of the programming provided (e.g. Type 1), then you can always go back to that starting point if you make a mistake.

Programming DSP5000 is a straightforward process, and you should not be timid about experimenting. Although the setup is stored in non-volatile memory called EEPROM, the EPROM (which you cannot change) contains default Type settings, and you can return to these at any time.

Programming is the process of telling the DSP5000 what you want it to do when the MSR is used. It is based round the Type system, which has five different Types; you can choose the best Type for your own system.

Programming is carried out using the MSR, so you must first get the MSR working, following the instructions on page 8.

The first step in programming DSP5000s is selection of the start Type. Page 30 gives an overview of the five different Types, and these are described further in Appendix 1, on page 55.

Note At any time during your programming of the DSP5000s, you can turn off the power to the speaker you are working on, and all that you have done will be remembered.

Note When you have finished programming, you can get out of the programming mode simply by turning the power to the speaker off and turning it back on again.

Restoring default settings

1.Switch off the DSP5000, using the power switch on the back, and wait for 3 seconds

2.While pressing the 1 key on the remote control, switch the power on again. The display will read

TY. 1

3.Release the 1 key

4.At this stage, you can change the Type from 1 to 8, using the number keys; see details on page 32

5.Switch off the DSP5000, using the power switch on the back

6.After a second, switch the DSP5000's power on again

Storing preferred tone settings

There is a special mode called Setup in which you can listen to the loudspeakers normally, but in which the Memory feature is extended to allow you to store tone settings as well as recall them. See page 23.

Note It is an unusual feature of DSP5000 that the speaker stores your preferred tone settings for every source. You must therefore adjust these settings one at a time and store each one.
