The P30 provides a comprehensive range of features to make it ideal as the
heart of a superb music or home entertainment system:
Flexible range of inputs
The P30 provides a range of inputs flexible enough to cater for virtually any
combination of sources including: seven analog phono inputs, one analog
balanced input, five coaxial digital inputs, two TOSlink optical digital inputs,
and one AES/EBU balanced digital input.
Video switching
The P30 provides four composite video inputs and three S-Video inputs to
allow you to switch up to seven audio-visual sources.
Digital Surround Processing
The P30 can decode multi-channel sources encoded in either Dolby Pro Logic,
or Dolby Digital (AC-3), to provide six discrete output channels for up to six
loudspeakers in a surround system.
Bypass mode
The P30 provides a
Bypass
mode, which bypasses the digital processing
stages for the purest possible reproduction of conventional two-channel music
sources.
Full configurability
The P30 is fully configurable, using a simple set of on-screen menus, to allow
you to set it up with the exact combination of sources and outputs that you
want to use for your own system. The P30 is supplied already set up with a
standard set of sources, designed to cater for the most usual combination of
inputs and outputs in a typical system, but you can modify these or define your
own sources with total flexibility.
Intuitive user interface
In keeping with the philosophy of the Primare range of systems, the P30’s
powerful range of features can be controlled through a very simple and
intuitive interface, designed so that it will not distract you from the pleasure of
listening to music or watching movies on your system.
In fact almost all the features of the P30 can be accessed through just two front
panel controls and four push buttons; alternatively the same degree of control
is provided through the remote control supplied with the P30.
