CP-3 Digital Surround Processor
If there are four or fewer sources to be used in the system, they can each be
connected directly to the CP-3 inputs. A typical system might use Input 1 for
television, Input 2 for VCR, Input 3 for video disc and Input 4 for CD player
or turntable (output through a preamp). Since Input 4 is audio only, the
video output will default to the video signal from Input 1. This feature
allows TV or other video source viewing while different audio is playing.
Connect your main stereo amplifier to the CP-3’s FRONT outputs. Connect
any additional amplifier/speaker combinations to the remaining outputs
on the CP-3: side amplifiers to the SIDE outputs, rear amplifiers to the REAR
outputs, center-channel amplifier to the CENTER output and the sub-
woofer amp to the SUB WOOFER output. If you are using THX-type dipolar
surround speakers, the amplifier driving them should be connected to the
CP-3 SIDE outputs.
