Features
The CD-ROM supplied with the SRP-X700P contains two
applications and the driver software.
• If your computer enters the System Standby or System Hibernate
state while the SRP-X700P Digital Powered Mixer is connected
and these software are in use, communication between them will
be interrupted and the software must be started again.
• The specifications of this software are subject to change without
notice due to improvement.
By installing the software in a personal computer running
Windows, you can set the parameters of the SRP-X700P and can
perform from the PC the basic operations of the SRP-X700P.
Similarly, you can also operate a Sony DVD, VCR or CD/MD that
is connected to the SRP-X700P.
• The actual screens of the application software may appear
differently from those printed in these Operating Instructions.
SRP-X700P Manager
The SRP-X700P Manager enables you to set all the functions of
the SRP-X700P.
You can set all functions of the SRP-X700P including making
various settings in accordance with the operating environment and
peripheral equipment, can use of a maximum of 20 scene
memories, can save the setup files, and so forth.
About This Manual
This manual describes operations of the SRP-X700P when it is
used via a personal computer.
User Control Panel
Section 1 describes how to set the parameters using the
SRP-X700P Manager. Section 2 describes how to operate the
SRP-X700P from the User Control Panel and Sony products
connected to the SRP-X700P. Read this manual together with the
Operating Instructions of the respective Sony products.
From the User Control Panel, you can control the basic operations
(sound volume adjustment, input selection and scene recall) of the
SRP-X700P and also the basic operations (playback, stop, fast
forward, rewind, etc.) of other Sony products (DVD, VCR, CD/
MD) connected to the SRP-X700P, all from a personal computer.
Precautions
• The recommended operating environment for using this software
is as follows.
Operating systems:
Microsoft® Windows® 98 Second Edition
Microsoft® Windows® Millennium Edition
Microsoft® Windows® 2000 Professional
Microsoft® Windows® XP Professional *
Microsoft® Windows® XP Home Edition *
Operation of this software when the OS has been upgraded is not
guaranteed.
* Simple switching of desktop and user cannot be implemented.
CPU: Celeron 400 MHz or higher
Memory: 128 MB or more
Hard disk free space: 10 MB or more
• USB terminal should be equipped as standard.
• This software may not operate appropriately depending on the
USB equipment and hub used simultaneously by your computer.
Be sure to use the USB equipment and hub conforming to the
USB 2.0 standard.
• Operation this software is not guaranteed in every personal
computer, even if the recommended environment is satisfied.
• Use the USB cable conforming to USB 2.0 to connect to the
SRP-X700P. If any cable other than the USB cable conforming
to USB 2.0 is used, the software may not work properly.
• When the FADER select of the SRP-X700P Manager is
switched to ACTIVE for the first time, adjust the sound
volume to the appropriate level by controlling the INPUT
fader and the OUTPUT fader. (Refer to pages 10 and 15.)
If the sound volume is not adjusted, the INPUT faders are all
–
set to ∞ automatically and the system enters the state in
which no sound is output.
• While you are using the SRP-X700P Manager and the User
Control Panel, your computer must not enter the System
Standby or System Hibernate state. Therefore, be sure to
select “Power Options” from the “Control Panel” and select
“Never” in the System Standby tab and in the System
Hibernate tab.

qd GAIN LIMIT and qf OVER GAIN indicators
The sending level from input section is the sum of the
qj INPUT fader and the input fader of the SRP-X700P.
If the SRP-X700P master volume is manipulated and the
sound volume is remotely controlled via the REMOTE
terminal using the GROUP FADER screen and REMOTE
screen respectively, these setup values are also added to the
sum.
INACTIVE mode:
INACTIVE mode is used to enable the INPUT fader and the
MASTER volume control of the SRP-X700P, and REMOTE1
to 6 of the GROUP FADER screen.
The sound volume is shown by the yellow marker that is
displayed on the side of the faders. The audio signal that has
passed all faders is output.
You cannot adjust the qj INPUT fader in INACTIVE mode.
(The sound volume of the output signal decreases by 25 dB in
the case of Fig. 2.)
You can set the upper limit of the sending level by the
qd GAIN LIMIT to prevent excessive output level using
multiple volume controls. Each click of the [+] or [--] button
increments or decrements the sending level by 1 dB in the
range of +10 dB to –10 dB. You can enter numerical values
directly on the screen.
If the sending level exceeds the GAIN LIMIT value, the actual
sending level is limited to the GAIN LIMIT value and the
qf OVER GAIN indicator lights in red.

Note
• When the FADER select of the SRP-X700P Manager is

1 INPUT index
If the microphone input sound falls below a lower-specified
level, the gate function cuts off the microphone sound so that
the background noise is reduced, howling is prevented, and
clear sound quality is maintained. When larger than a certain
volume is input again, the microphone input is turned on
without delay. (See part 2 in the figure.)
Displays the INPUT channel index that is entered on the
BLOCK screen.
2 OUTPUT index
Displays the OUTPUT channel index that is entered on the
BLOCK screen.
Conventional automatic mixers have an inherent lack of sound
at the beginning of a speech due to the time difference after
the audio input level is detected until the gate starts working.
The SRP-X700P solves this problem by removing the time
difference by using digital signal processing.

ACTIVE mode is used to adjust the reference sound volume
by using SRP-X700P Manager.
You can adjust the qg OUTPUT fader by dragging the fader
portion.
The audio signal that has passed the INPUT fader on the
INPUT OVERVIEW screen and the OUTPUT fader on the
OUTPUT OVERVIEW screen, is output.
Lo Imp.: A low impedance (4 Ω to 16 Ω) speaker is to be
connected.
70 V LINE: A high impedance (32 Ω to 10 kΩ) speaker is to
be connected.
In the case of 70 V LINE, the channel 1 setup becomes valid
for the selectors and attenuators.
(The INPUT fader and the MASTER volume control of the

INPUT SELECT command setup
Sets the command to select the input terminal of the projector in accordance with the SRP-X700P LINE4 SELECT selection. It also sets the
wait time after the command has been sent.
The SRP-X700P has built-in independent switchers for the respective video signal systems. When the video signal system of the channel that
is selected by LINE4 SELECT is the VIDEO signal, the output video signal is sent to the VIDEO output terminal. When the selected channel
is of the S-VIDEO signal, it is output to the S-VIDEO output terminal. When the selected channel is of either the RGB signal or the
COMPONENT signal, it is output to the 5BNC terminal.
By this system, the SRP-X700P sends to the projector a command that selects the projector input depending on the signal system of the
channel selected by LINE4 SELECT.
The INPUT SELECT command is set for the respective signal systems. A maximum of two commands can be set for a single signal system.

When a projector model that allows the input to be selected by
a single command is used, set the command in the
COMMAND setup box1 only.
Some projector models that support multiple video signal
formats with a single input channel, require two commands,
the video signal format select command and the input terminal

For such projector models, set the video signal format select
command in the COMMAND setup box1 and set the input
