Hello,
I was wondering. Does anyone out there who owns/owned the sp-1 ever experience problems with there settings not saving? My sp-1 is defaulting in dts-music mode and cannot be changed. Ive tried to "save" it to dts, but no matter what it defualts to music. It will however save to film mode. I also cant change speaker levels and crossover settings on different inputs.Let me know if anyone has had these problems.

Hi

Is it an SP1 or an  SP1.7.
The SP1.7 and SP2 allows for saving per input but not the SP1.

It is the sp-1. It seams wierd for it to always defualt to dts music. Surely this wasnt built to do that was it? Maybe its just time I need to  face the facts-I need the sp-2 upgrade.If I new for sure the sp-2 could indeed do 2 channel as good as my ayre 7ce as stereophile stated, Id sell my sp-1 and ayre off and buy a sp-2. Do you feel a simple rotel 1072 cd player as a transport and the sp-2 doing the processing could compete?Thanks so much for the response!

HI There - I assume you are hitting the SAVE button on the SP1 remote control unit?

I dont think there is a "save button" on the bryston sp-1 remote. I was told by someone at bryston it saved by changing inputs or when powering down. If there is a button that works as a save I couldnt find it in my owners manual or the remote itself. Let me know, Id love to get my dts to defualt to dts and not music mode.When I play hd dvd's I have to constantly get up and push the music button until standard dts comes on(goes from music, to film,to standard dts)

There isn't. I had an SP1 for years before upgrading it to an SP2.

Switching to a different source auto saves the settings of the source you are exiting. Also a shutdown will save the present sources settings. There were a limited number of saveable settings though.

Certainly each source allowed speaker configuration, Xbass setting, rear channel levels, subwoofer level, bypass status, thx status, and listening mode of either (Digital (Auto), ProLogic, Stereo, Mono or Music). You had to setup each source and then switch to another source to save it. If you were playing around with your settings and inadvertantly switched to another source, it would resave (a bit annoying).

Since DTS music was a function of the Music Mode, it would require the dts bitstream to revert to dts, but it would always require cycling to get out of dts music (as I remember).

My advice, upgrade to the SP2 - a different world altogether......
