DFP-3000

9.6.2 Connecting the DFP-3000 to the CP-500 with the CP-500 as master.

When using the CP-500 as the master, use the DFP-D3000 for only the playback of the SDDS. This

setting has the following problems.

1. The CP-500 input and output are unbalanced while those of the DFP-D3000 are balanced, therefore

compared to the CP-500, effects of external noises are less.

2. The powerful theatre control features and easy setup of the A- and B-chain of the DFP-3000 will be

disabled.

3. Channel level trims of the CP-500 will affect the SDDS channels.

4. The CP-500 analog bass and treble controls will also affect SDDS playback.

However, when using the CP-500 as the master in consideration of the ease of operations, set the CP-500

and DFP-D3000 as follows.

1. System configuration

2. Logic wiring connections

These connections are valid only if the Dolby Digital format is assigned to SK4 and SDDS (User 1 or

higher) is assigned to SK 6 on the CP-500. On the DFP-D3000, SDDS must be assigned to Preset 8.
