Installing your DSP5000
General precautions
Before carrying out any installation, you should ensure that the DSP5000
is marked with the correct voltage for your local AC supply. Should this
not be the case, do not proceed, but contact your dealer.
As a general rule, you should not make any connections to the DSP5000,
or to any other component in your system, when the AC power supply is
switched on.
Customising features
The DSP5000 is very flexible. Its functions can be significantly
customised, which means that you can set up your system so that it suits
you exactly.
Customising DSP5000: an overview, on page 29, describes your
options in detail. By the time you have set up DSP5000 according to your
needs, you will be aware of how the alternative choices available to you
can differ from the standard configurations.
We recommend that you first get to know the DSP5000 by using one of
the standard setups, and by working through this manual. Do not be afraid
later to experiment with customising – we have given you a simple way of
getting back to where you started from! (see page 32).
DSP5000 as provided has 3 standard configurations which we call Type
settings. Each Type gives a different set of standard options; this feature
is described fully on page 32.
Warning By selecting a Type, you automatically reset all custom settings
for DSP5000 to the factory defaults – this includes all tone settings.
DSP5000 has 7 operating modes (not to be confused with setup Types):
•
Standby
•
Normal
•
Type
•
Config
•
Setup
•
Calibrate
•
Test
Standby and Normal are the everyday operating modes. The basic
operating instructions refer to these.
Type is used to reset the DSP5000 to one of five factory-preset
conditions. The main uses of Type are to specify what type of preamplifier
is being used, and to make an initial choice of left/right and master/slave
speakers.
Config could be considered as an editing setup mode. In Config you can
choose any aspect of left/right, master/slave, sources or preamplifiers
individually, without losing any other settings you may have made.
Setup is an operating mode in which the speaker plays and in which
additional menu items are available. The idea behind Setup is that in this
mode you can choose and store in memory the preferred tone settings for
every source. Going to Normal operation then prevents them from being
accidentally lost, and can simplify everyday operation.
Customisation is described more fully in Configuring DSP5000: an
overview, on page 29.
