XSP-1 Front Panel

1. Dim Button

Dims the illumination on the VFD (vacuum fluorescent display) and the halo illumination 

on the front panel buttons and Volume Control; there are ten brightness levels and the 

brightness increases each time the button is pressed (when you are at brightness 10 and 

press the button, it drops back to 1).

2. Home Theater Bypass Button

When you press this button, the source connected to the Home Theater Inputs is routed 

directly to the Main Outputs on the XSP-1, bypassing all controls including the level control 

and bass management. The display will indicate Home Theater Bypass when this is active.

(Conversion between balanced and unbalanced is still performed, and the XSP-1 must be 

On in order for the outputs to be active.)

3. Processor Loop Button

Signal from the selected input is always routed to the Processor Loop Output. When the 

Processor Loop button is pressed, the XSP-1 takes its input from the Processor Loop Input 

instead of directly from the input source; the VFD shows PrON or PrOff to indicate status. 

(This is the functionality that used to be called “a tape monitor”, and is used to connect 

an external sound processor or decoder. The Processor Loop Input can also be used as 

another line input if desired.)
