CP-2 Digital Audio Surround Processor Installation

Introd '
The Lexicon CP-Z Digital Audio Surround Processor uses proprietary all- UCtEOH

digital signal processing to offer extremely accurate Dolby Pro Logic
decoding for Dolby Surround encoded films, and Lexicons own decoding
circuitry for monaural film soundtracks.

For films encoded in Dolby Stereo, the CP-2 incorporates a completely
digital Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder, with Auto AzimuthTM - auto-
matic correction of azimuth and channel-balance errors. The CP-2 also
provides a program for playing music through a Surround speaker set-up
(Music Logic), and a program for enhancing monaural film sound tracks
(MonoLogic).

This manual describes the CP-Z's controls and indicators, the programs and
their adjustable parameters, and provides information on setting up the
CP-2 for maximum effectiveness. At the end of this manual is a section on
the theory behind surround sound for those who want to know more about
the CP-2 design.

- Select a dry, well-ventilated location out of direct sunlight.

o Do not stack the CP-2 directly above heat-producing equipment such
as power amplifiers.

0 Avoid placing the CP-Z near unshielded TV or FM antennas; it may

interfere with some FM tuners if it is placed immediately above orbelow
them.

0 Install two AAA batteries (supplied) in the CP-2 remote control.
