Introduction

to the CP-3

CP-3 Digital Surround Processor

Using the
Documentation

Because the CP-3 is designed to be customized for your system and your
listening space, the information required for installation is considerably
more extensive than that required for use of the system. We have, therefore,
provided separate documentation for these needs. The CP-3 is shipped with
an Owner's Manual, a Quick Reference Card and a booklet titled: CP-3
Theory and Design.

The Owner's Manual is designed to assist you in installing, calibrating and
operating the CP-3. It should be used in conjunction with the Expanded
Remote Control when configuring the system to perform optimally in your
environment. This manual was written with the underlying assumption
that the installer is familiar with audio/video system installation.

To keep operation simple, the unit recognizes which remote control is used
to turn it on. In the Owner's Manual, references to "Standard" operation
mean that the unit was turned on with the Standard remote; "Expanded"
operation refers to the Expanded remote. "Normal" operation refers to
modes for using (as opposed to setting up) the CP-3.

An Installation worksheet is provided in Chapter 5 of the Owner's Manual
for documentation of the settings arrived at during the calibration proce-
dure.

Once installation is satisfactorily completed, you should need only the
Standard Remote and the Quick Reference Card for day-to-day operation
of the system.

Whether you are performing the installation, or simply using the system,
we hope that you will read the Theory and Design booklet. Understanding
the goals of CP-3 design will make sense of each step in the setup procedure,
and will help you make the most of the operating features.
