XSP-1
XSP-1 Front Panel
1. Dim Button
Dims the illumination on the VFD (vacuum fluorescent display) and the halo illumination
on the front panel buttons and Volume Control; there are ten brightness levels and the
brightness increases each time the button is pressed (when you are at brightness 10 and
press the button, it drops back to 1).
2. Home Theater Bypass Button
When you press this button, the source connected to the Home Theater Inputs is routed
directly to the Main Outputs on the XSP-1, bypassing
all
controls including the level control
and bass management. The display will indicate Home Theater Bypass when this is active.
(Conversion between balanced and unbalanced is still performed, and the XSP-1 must be
On in order for the outputs to be active.)
3. Processor Loop Button
Signal from the selected input is always routed to the Processor Loop Output. When the
Processor Loop button is pressed, the XSP-1 takes its input from the Processor Loop Input
instead of directly from the input source; the VFD shows PrON or PrOff to indicate status.
(This is the functionality that used to be called “a tape monitor”, and is used to connect
an external sound processor or decoder. The Processor Loop Input can also be used as
another line input if desired.)
