Customising DSP5000C: an overview
DSP5000C is a very sophisticated device, with a number of options which
allow you to set up exactly the system you need.
Programming of DSP5000Cs should take place after you have set up the
speakers and sorted out most of the connections. If you first get the
speakers working with some kind of digital input (e.g. a CD player), and
with the programming provided (e.g. Type 6), then you can always go
back to that starting point if you make a mistake.
Programming DSP5000C is a straightforward process, and you should not
be timid about experimenting. Although the setup is stored in non-volatile
memory called EEPROM, the EPROM (which you cannot change)
contains default Type settings, and you can return to these at any time.
Programming is the process of telling the DSP5000C what you want it to
do when the MSR is used. It is based round the Type system, which has
eight different Types; you can choose the best Type for your own system.
Programming is carried out using the MSR, so you must first get the MSR
working, following the instructions on page 8.
The first step in programming DSP5000C is selection of the start Type.
Page 28 gives an overview of the eight Types, and these are described
further in Appendix 1, on page 52.
Note At any time during your programming of the DSP5000C, you can
turn off the power to the speaker you are working on, and all that you
have done will be remembered.
Note When you have finished programming, you can get out of the
programming mode simply by turning the power to the speaker off and
turning it back on again.
Restoring default settings
1. Switch off the DSP5000C, using the power switch on the back, and
wait for 3 seconds
2. While pressing the 1 key on the remote control, switch the power on
again. The display will read
TY. 1
3. Release the 1 key
4. At this stage, you can change the Type from 1 to 8, using the number
keys; see details on page 30
5. Switch off the DSP5000C, using the power switch on the back
6. After a second, switch the DSP5000C's power on again
Storing preferred tone settings
There is a special mode called Setup in which you can listen to the
loudspeakers normally, but in which the Memory feature is extended to
allow you to store tone settings as well as recall them. See page 21.
Note It is an unusual feature of DSP5000C that the speaker stores your
preferred tone settings for every source. You must therefore adjust these
settings one at a time and store each one.
