Introduction
to the CP-3
CP-3 Digital Surround Processor
Essentially, the CP-3 can be thought of as a line level preamp with one
audio-only and three audio/video inputs. It behaves as the master proces-
sor for your system, controlling system volume, balance, source selections
and acoustical environments.
Two remote control units are provided with the system: an Expanded
remote, and a Standard remote. The Expanded remote is designed primar-
ily for use in configuring the CP-3 to work optimally with your system. This
remote gives you access to setup controls and parameter menus for all of the
modes of operation of the CP-3. This remote also allows access to 15 Preset
modes and storage of as many as 30 of your own custom modes.
Although some users may continue to use the Expanded remote after
installation and configuration is complete, a second, simpler remote con-
trol, called the Standard remote, is provided for everyday use. This remote
is designed to control some system parameters and to access only five
modes of operation. (We have chosen names for these modes, as labeled on
the Standard remote, but the actual modes that are triggered by these
buttons can be changed.)
In many systems, a universal, or learning remote, may take the place of the
Standard remote. If you are using one of these, we strongly suggest that the
types of operating controls we have provided on the Standard remote be
adapted into the universal remote. We have found these controls enhance
the listening/viewing experience while keeping the technology transpar-
ent.
