SPA21 SURROUND AMPLIFIER USER GUIDE

SETTING UP THE SOURCES

This chapter gives details of the standard inputs 
that are defined when the SPA21 is first supplied.
It then explains how to modify the standard inputs, 
or define new inputs, to give you total flexibility 
in  the  way  you  set  up  the  SPA21  in  your  own 
system.

Standard sources

The SPA21 Surround Amplifier allows you to define up to 
15 sources, referred to as INPUT 1 to INPUT 15. Each 
source can use one of the four digital and eight analog 
inputs, and any source can be combined with one of the 
video inputs. Alternatively, a multi-channel source can be 
defined using the dedicated eight-channel external input. 
This feature limits the analog inputs to a total of five.

The SPA21 Surround Amplifier is supplied with the 
standard sources shown in the table below already defined:

Source    Audio          Video         Surround     Description
                                                 mode 

CD            Analog 1        None           Bypass           High quality 
                                                                             CD player

                                                                             recorder or  

 

                                                                             minidisc player

TV            Analog 3        Video 1       Dolby Pro       Television or  

 

                                                       Logic II           monitor
TapeA       Analog 4        None           Stereo            Analog tape output
Sat           Analog 5        Video 2       Dolby Pro       Satellite receiver
                                                       Logic II

For each source you can define:

•   A name for the source, to identify it on the front panel 

display.

•   The analog or digital audio input used for the source.

•   The video input used for the source, if the source inclu-

des video.

•   The standard surround mode used for the source.

•   For analog sources, an offset to balance the loudness 

when switching between sources.

•   TV-system

•   Trigger #2

If this standard set of sources meets your requirements, 
you will get excellent results by using them, and you can 
ignore the remainder of this chapter.

If these standard sources meet all your requirements, but 
include additional sources that you do not need, you may 
like to remove the unused sources to avoid having to step 
past them when selecting sources from the front panel or 
remote control. To do this, see the next section, Removing 
sources.

Alternatively, it may be that these standard sources gen-
erally meet your requirements, with one or two minor 
changes. For example, if your DVD player does not pro-
vide a digital output you can modify the DVD source so 
that it uses one of the analog inputs instead of the digital 
input as currently defined. To make changes to the existing 
sources see Editing sources, page 24.

Finally, you may prefer to create your own set of sources to 
suit the particular requirements of your system. To do this 
you should read all the remaining sections in this chapter.

Removing sources

Every source can be enabled or disabled. If a source is 
enabled it will appear in the sequence of sources when you 
select sources using the SELECTOR on the front panel or 
the   or   buttons on the remote control. If a source is 
disabled it cannot be selected, but the settings are retained 
in case you want to enable the source again at a later date.
