Features
-
Four Inputs -
Allows you to connect several source units, including laserdisc players, DVD players, DSS receivers, and most other digital transports. Inputs include one with built-in RF demodulator for laser disc players, two digital coaxial inputs, and one digital TOSlink optical input. -
Three Signal Processing Modes -
Select two channel Stereo, Dolby ProLogic, or Dolby Digital (AC-3) processing, depending on the source material. Automatic detection and selection of Dolby Digital encoded material. Two channel digital material can be decoded in stereo or Pro Logic. -
Lucasfilm Cinema RE-Equalization -
Proprietary technology corrects for the high frequency boost mixed into soundtracks that make movies played back at home sound unnaturally bright. -
Dynamic Range Control -
This variable control allows you to maintain excellent audio level of digital movies which have a wide dynamic range. Especially useful low listening levels. -
Dialog Normalization -
Compensates for the drastic change in loudness that can occur when you change between different source material. -
Front Panel Display -
Provides complete system status including active channels, center, and surround delay times, signal lock indication, and Dynamic Range. -
Bass Management Selector and Surround Channel Selector Switches -
Allows you to adjust the bass capabilities of your speakers and whether or not you have a subwoofer. Settings include: Left, Center and Right Channel full range for no subwoofer; Left, Center and Right Channel full range and subwoofer full range; Left Center and Right Channel high pass and sub low pass THX filter. Allows you to assign the bass capacity of your surround channel speakers. Choose Bass Filter On for smaller surround speakers or Bass Filter Off for larger surround speakers. -
Selectable Center Channel Operation -
Depending on your Center Speaker, you can choose either Large(THX setting), Small, or None (Phantom) with your P/DD-1500. -
Center Channel Delay -
Assures that sound from front left, center, and front right channels arrives to the listener at the exact same time even if the speaker is placed in line with the left and right speakers. Critical in making the surround illusion effective. -
Adjustable Surround Delay Times -
Allows you to choose the amount of time it takes sound from the surround channel speakers to follow the sound from the front speakers. Improves the overall surround effect. -
Two RCA Analog Outputs -
Allows you to connect the front left and right audio outputs to any spare inputs so you can continue to use the THX, Analog Dolby ProLogic, and Ambience processing circuitry built into the P/SP-1500. Also allows the P/DD-1500 to be used as a high quality two channel stereo digital to analog converter. -
Other Features -

Features
-
Four Audio/Video Inputs, plus three audio-only inputs -
Offers inputs for your audio and video equipment. A/V inputs offer composite and S-video switching. -
Seven Processing Modes -
Offers a diverse repertoire of listening choices including Dolby Pro Logic®, THX® Cinema, hall, ambiance, stereo direct, mono, and 5.1 Dolby Digital®-when used with our P/DD-1500 Dolby Digital® Decoder. -
Lucasfilm THX® Processing -
Proprietary circuitry developed by Lucasfilm provides unparalleled realism. -
Re-Equalization -
Corrects the high frequency boost mixed into soundtracks that makes movies played back at home sound unnaturally bright. -
De-Correlation -
Processes the surround channels so they blend more naturally into the background. -
Timbre Matching -
Helps surround channels sound similar in frequency characteristics to front speakers. Makes front to rear panning more realistic.Provides complete system status including active channels, center, and surround delay times, signal lock indication, and Dynamic Range. -
Asymmetrical Crossover -
12dB/octave high pass, 24 dB/octave low pass compensates for room acoustics that make subwoofers sound boomy, and smooths out overall system bass response. With a THX-certified subwoofer, the built-in crossover diminishes the bass information received in your front speakers for improved dialog resolution and cleaner bass. -
High Current Audio Section -
P/SP-1500 functions as an audiophile-quality preamplifierfor all your critical listening. Internal gold-clad relay bypasses all processing circuitry to maintain sonic purity. -
Analog ProLogic Circuit -
Offers greatest dynamic range and often sounds more natural than digital ProLogic processing. -
Discrete Dolby Digital Upgradeability -
A DB-25 connector on the rear panel of the P/SP-1500 accepts an outboard digital adapter such as our Parasound P/DD-1500 Dolby Digital Surround Decoder. Upgrade to digital surround whenever you're ready. -
Selectable Center Channel Operation -
Depending on your Center Speaker, you can choose either Large (THX setting), Small, or None (Phantom) with your P/SP-1500. -
Advanced Calibration Function -
Allows you to manually select, adjust and memorize the output level for each of your six channels to accommodate different types of speakers and their placement. While it's easy to calibrate either on-screen or from the front panel, it's very difficult to accidentally uncalibrate the system. Maintains calibration memory even after power loss. -
"On the fly" Channel Level Trim Function -
Allows temporary readjustment of individual channel levels to compensate for individual soundtracks. Channels automatically revert to pre-calibrated levels once unit is turned off, or if modes or inputs are changed. -
Full-featured Front Panel Display -
Duplicates the on-screen display functions. -
On-screen Programming -
The easiest, most intuitive on-screen programming we've seen. Offers incredibly easy programming, using different colored screens to alert you to function, and superimposed text for unobscurred viewing while calibrating. Blue screen is generated even when P/SP-1500 is turned off. -
Mode to Input Linking -
Lets you recall a previously memorized surround mode and input level to automatically link with whatever input you select. -
External Remote Connection -
Allows for remote control when installed in a cabinet or remote zone control. Compatible with popular IR repeaters. -
12 Volt DC Trigger -
Allows you to activate equipment such as relays, rear screen projectors, amplifiers-any component that can be turned on with DC voltage.
