Source Name
The
Source Name
button provides a way to customize the names of the sources
as displayed on the Source Selection screen(s). For example, if you have an
outboard phono stage plugged into the Line 1 analog inputs, you might want to
rename the source button Phono to make it easier to remember.
To change source names, use the keyboard on the touchscreen. Note that the
size of the source buttons varies depending whether you have 1-3, 4-6 or 7-9+
sources enabled, so the length of name that may be fully displayed on the button
will likewise vary.
After entering the source name, press Enter on the keyboard to save the change.
Configuration
The
Configuration
button allows you to assign one of the up to six
configuration options (see Configuration Setup) as the default for the source
button being set up. Whenever this source is selected, that configuration will be
employed. You might set up one source such as a disc player to have a default
configuration with a subwoofer crossed over at 80 Hz for movies. You may then
set up another source button for the same disc player with a different default
configuration, say one with a subwoofer crossed over at 40 Hz, for music.
Configurations are speaker setups, and are discussed in more detail later in this
section.
NOTE: The default Configuration assignment can be temporarily
overridden from the remote CONFIG SELECT buttons or from the
Configurations
button on the main Menu page. See the section, Using the
CP-800, for more details.
Input Offset
Input Offset
is used to ensure that all sources playback at comparable level.
There can be significant differences in output levels, especially among analog
sources, which can lead to unexpected changes in volume when switching
among them. The CP-800 provides an input offset adjustment range from -10 to
+10 dB.
Pass-Thru
Selecting
Pass-Thru
locks the volume at 0.0 dB for this source and passes the
signal through the preamp without changing its level. This feature is useful to
avoid having two volume controls active such as when the preamp sits between
an SSP or a whole house digital music server system and the L&R channel
amplifiers.
Note that the Pass-Thru mode is available for digital as well as analog
sources.
Digital Bypass
Digital Bypass
is available for sources associated with analog input connectors.
Choosing Digital Bypass will switch off all digital signal processing circuitry and
leave the signal entirely in the analog domain. When Digital Bypass has been
selected, DSP features are not available. These features include Tone Control,
PEQ, Mono and the Bass Management (subwoofer output). If a configuration
with subwoofer(s) enabled is called, the Digital Bypass setting will override the
bass management settings in the configuration, leaving the L&R signals analog
and full range with no subwoofer output. If Digital Bypass is NOT selected,
analog signals remain in the analog domain unless a feature that requires DSP is
called.
