SP Controls SP3-AFVP+ - Manual (Page 10)

Aux Audio (5th Audio Input)
A SmartPanel using an AFVP may be configured to use Aux Audio mode, allowing switching audio to a
5th stereo audio channel on the preamp. The SmartPanel volume control may be used to control vol-
ume of an audio-only device without turning the projector on. This can be useful for audio control of an
audio-only device such as a CD player.
Tip: The audio output from a DVD player can be split to two audio inputs on the preamp - the input cor-
responding to the SmartPanel input and the 5th input on the AFVP. The DVD player can then be used
as an audio-only device to play audio CDs in addition to its use as a video device.
Aux Audio mode can be accessed with a Aux Audio peripheral (part no. SLB-MINI-AUXAUDIO) or
directly with the SmartPanel interface. SP Controls recommends use of the Aux Audio peripheral switch
as it provides a clearer interface
SmartPanel Configuration
The SmartPanel must be configured to use Aux Audio with the SP Controls Product Configuration Utility.
Installations using the Aux Audio peripheral switch: Go to the Configuration Utility page labeled
Configure Wiring. In the pull-down menu labeled Accessories select the AuxAudio option (see illustra-
tion on next page).
Installations not using the Aux Audio peripheral switch: Go to the Configuration Utility tab labeled
Configure Audio. Select the box labeled Enable Aux Audio (see illustration below).
When you have selected the correct configuration, download the settings to the SmartPanel. For more
information on configuring the SmartPanel, see the SmartPanel Installation and Configuration Guide.
Aux Audio Without the Peripheral Switch
Activating Aux Audio mode on a SmartPanel without a peripheral switch will activate the SmartPanel
volume control for an audio-only device without turning on the projector. Without the switch, it is not
possible to select the 5th input on the preamp while the projector is on.
To activate Aux Audio mode while the SmartPanel and projector are off, press the VOLUME UP button
on the SmartPanel. This will switch the AFVP preamp to the 5th input, activate the SmartPanel volume
control display, and allow volume control from the SmartPanel as normal. The projector will remain off.
To return the SmartPanel to its normal off state, press the POWER OFF button.
