connecting the sP33
This page shows how to connect your SP33 to other equipment in your system.
P o W e r
Connect the power connector on the back
panel to your power outlet using the mains cable
supplied with the SP33.
If this cable is not suitable for your power outlets
contact your supplier for an alternative cable.
 WARNING: Always disconnect the
SP33 from the mains power before
connecting or disconnecting any
cables, including the HDMI cables.
m a i n o u t P u t s
The SP33 provides eight discrete analog audio
outputs for connecting to the power amplifiers
and loudspeakers in the surround system. Each
output is provided in both an unbalanced and a
balanced version.
a u d i o i n P u t s
The SP33 provides a total of ten analog inputs
and seven digital inputs. Because the SP33 is
configurable, you have total flexibility about which
input you use for each of your sources. In addition,
you can optionally use four pairs of analog inputs
for a single, multi-channel source, such as SACD.
The SP33 is supplied with a suggested set of
sources already set up, and you may choose to
leave the inputs assigned in this way. However, if
you prefer, you can re-assign the inputs to sources
in any way you prefer.
Digital inputs
The SP33 provides a total of seven digital inputs:
one AES/EBU digital input, three SPDIF digital
inputs, and three optical TOSlink digital inputs.
Analog inputs
The SP33 provides eight line-level stereo RCA
inputs and two XLR inputs for connection to a
source providing balanced outputs.
V i d e o c o n n e c t i o n s
The SP33 provides a choice of five HDMI inputs
and two HDMI outputs.
You can adjust the settings for each output for
optimum performance with the display device,
for example a TV and a projector. The on-screen
display is provided on both outputs.
Connecting to a television or monitor
Connect the appropriate output to your television
or display.
If your television includes an HDMI tuner output
you can use the SP33 to perform switching
between the television tuner and your other
video sources such as DVD or Blu-Ray. In this
case connect the television tuner output to the
HDMI input corresponding to your TV source. If
your television does not provide a tuner output
you will need to switch the television between its
internal tuner and the external video input.
Z o n e 
An additional audio output is provided to feed a
second zone, such as a second room system.
r e c o r d o u t P u t s
The SP33 Multi-Channel Processor allows you to
make a recording of a digital source to the two
digital record outputs, or of an analog source to
the analog record output.
The SP33 provides two digital record outputs,
SPDIF and optical TOSlink, and one analog RCA
record output.

The IR input allows you to connect an external
infra-red eye, for operation of the SP33 if the
front panel is inaccessible.
The RS232 input allows an authorized dealer to
connect the SP33 to a computer, for service and
future upgrades, or to controller systems. For
more information and details of control codes
contact Primare or see the Primare Audio Web
site at www.primare.net.
The Trigger outputs allow the SP33 to control
external equipment, such as power amplifiers, or a
projector screen.
