The SPA23 allows you to define up to 15
sources. Each source can use one of the six
digital and eight analog inputs, and any source
can be combined with one of the HDMI inputs.
Alternatively, a multi-channel source, called
EXT 7.1, can be defined using analog inputs 5 to 8.

When the SPA23 is first supplied the seven
standard sources shown in the table below are
already set up for you.

You can simply disable any of these sources that
you do not need; see

Input setting, page 8. You

can also change any source to use different inputs,
or configure your own sources with any name
you choose and using any particular inputs as
appropriate for the source.

To select a source

Turn the SELECTOR control on the front

panel until the name of the source is shown
on the front panel display.

Alternatively, press the A or V buttons on the

remote control to step between sources.

c h A n g i n g t h e V o l u m e

The SPA23 allows you to vary the volume from 0
(silence) to 99 (maximum volume).

To change the volume

Rotate the VOLUME control on the front

panel, or press the VOL + or VOL buttons
on the remote control.

The current volume setting is shown on the front
panel display.
