INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of the Bryston SP3 pre-

est available signal control and DSP audio processing avail-
able. Like all Bryston products the SP3 has been carefully
designed and engineered to deliver a lifetime of enjoyment.
The SP3 offers both pre-amplifier and digital decoding
functions, and it is very important that you thoroughly read
this manual BEFORE you install and use the SP3.
UNPACKING
Your SP3 was carefully packed at the factory to protect
against any damage in shipping and handling. Carefully
examine the packing and the unit for any signs of external
damage or impact and report those to your dealer or Bryston
prior to using the unit.
Bryston advises that you keep all packaging in the
event that the unit may have to be returned for service.

In the carton you should have found the following accesso-
ries in addition to the SP3:
1 Bryston SP3 Instruction Manual

SAFETY
I
t is important that you read and completely understand the
safety instructions and warning on page one of this manual
before installing or connecting the SP3 to any electrical power
source.
QUICK START
• Plug into an appropriate power source using an approved
IEC-60320 power cord with a C13 plug on the equipment
end. Check the Data Plate (a 1.5” x .625” sticker contain-
ing the electrical ratings for your unit) located on the rear
panel near the power inlet to confirm that the unit you
have is rated for the electric power supply in your region.
• Connect suitable inputs & outputs to the SP3. If you are
connecting a DVD player to an SPDIF or TOSLINK in-
put, connect it initially to SPDIF-1 or TOSLINK INPUT-1
(which are the default assignments; these assignments
can be changed at any time in System Menu

Digital
Sources). If you are connecting to an HDMI input, use
HDMI-1 which is assigned to the DVD buttons on the front
panel and the remote control. The video signals carried
on the HDMI cable are looped through to the HDMI out-
puts.
• The Status LED located above the Standby button
should be lit red a couple of seconds after the unit is
plugged in. Press the Standby button & the red LED will
extinguish & the alphanumeric display will come on, ini-
tially showing “Bryston Surround Processor 3”.
• Within a second or two the status screen will be displayed
showing four lines: Source (input source signal), IN: (input
format), OUT: (output signal format) and Volume: (in deci-
bels).
Before adjusting items in the menus described be-
low it should be noted that the
factory default settings should
be suitable for most typical sur-
round setups. In short, the fac-
tory defaults for the most fun-
damental settings are:
• Speakers: 5.1
(Source Setup, Spkr Sz)
• Speaker Size: small
(Source Setup)
• Subwoofer: On
(Source Setup)
• Distance: 2 meters
(System Setup)
• Speaker levels: 0
(Source Setup)
• Press the right arrow menu navigation button

and you
will be at the top of the main menu. When the cursor is
pointing at SYSTEM SETUP and you press the right ar-
row button

again you will move into the System Setup
menu.
However, if you press the
down arrow

first so
that the cursor is pointing
at SOURCE SETUP, then
pressing the right arrow button will move you into the
Source Setup menu.
• To back up, all the way to the startup screen if desired,
just keep pressing the Left
arrow button
