MPS-5 User Manual

SETUP MENU
The MPS-5 has several options that can be displayed and set via remote control. By pressing and holding the
CLR button the setup menu is displayed on the front panel. After no further button has been pressed for 5
seconds the display goes automatically back to normal operation. After entering the setup menu the CLR
button can be pressed shortly to advance to the next menu item. Each programmable menu item may be
toggled between 2 settings by pressing the play button.
IMPORTANT: Do not attempt to change any settings while the MPS-5 is connected to any PLINK or USB-X
devices. Always disconnect any optical cables.
The following options are available in sequence:
1. Serial number. This option is not user programmable.
2. Firmware version. This option is not user programmable.
3. Center Mix: Used for multi channel playback and only programmable for the MPS-5.
4. Optical Output Format: the optical data output supports PLINK or SONOMA formats. PLINK is a
proprietary format used to link to other Playback Designs products for multi channel or multi room
setups. SONOMA is used to connect to professional recording equipment. This function is only
programmable for the MPS-5.
5. Optical All Channels: when using PLINK output format set this off for multi channel configuration or on
for multi room configuration. In multi channel configuration only those channels are sent out via
PLINK that are necessary for the next following DAC in the chain. In multi room configuration all
channels are sent out via PLINK output, so that the same audio program can be heard in multiple
rooms. This function is only programmable for the MPS-5.
6. PLINK Input format: The MPS-5 needs to know if the device you are connecting to its PLINK input is
the optical USB-X interface (USB-XII) or any other device that supports the PLINK format.
7. IR Locked / Unlocked: this option is only programmable for the MPD-5 and allows disabling all remote
control commands when the MPD-5 is part of a multi channel setup.
