Congratulations with your new Preamplifier/Processor SPACE PR250 B.
The SPACE PR250 B contains advanced technology for an outstanding range of features and sound performance.
We are sure that the PR250 B will give you long lasting pleasure.
To give you full benefit from this advanced product, please read this manual carefully before you proceed.
The SPACE PR250 B contains following features:
-Precision volume control with 0.5dB adjustment step and 100dB range
-Direct key access to channel trim adjustments with 0.5dB adjustment step
-Delay adjustment for center, surround left and surround right channels
-Direct key access to input selection
-Most inputs can be assigned as analogue, electrical digital or optical
-Sensitivity for analogue inputs to DSP can be adjusted for improved dynamic range
-S-video and composite video switching with 70MHz bandwidth
-Video encoder with On Screen Display (OSD), which is automatically bypassed when not used
-Flexible speaker settings with extensive bass management
-Adjustable crossover frequency (60 – 120Hz) for bass management
-Dynamic range compression e.g. for improved performance in noisy environments
-New 56362 Motorola DSP with 100 MIPS (Million Instructions Per Second)
-Upgradable design for coming sound formats
-8 pcs. Burr Brown 24bit/96kHz D/A converters
-True differential D/A conversion in Left and Right channels for optimal performance with 24bit/96kHz stereo sound from DVD audio disc’s.
-Pure analogue input with true balanced pure analogue signal path
-32 – 96 kHz PCM stereo
-Dolby Pro Logic decoding
-Dolby Digital decoding with auto detection
-DTS decoding with auto detection
Each feature is described further in the next pages.
Following formats are used:
Cursive text indicates display readout, e.g.: CONFIG
Key type is indicated with “”, e.g.: “ENTER” key.

0. Installation
Place the amplifier on a hard and flat surface. The ventilation holes should not be covered. There has to be at least 5 cm (2 inches) free air on top of the amplifier.
To ensure long and trouble free operation we recommend:
-Do not expose the amplifier to direct sunlight.
-Do not place the amplifier in warm or dusty environments.
Caution: Because of risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose the amplifier to rain or moisture.
Caution: Because of risk of electric shock, do not open the amplifier.
1. Input selection
The input selection is very flexible, so it can suit many different home theatre and stereo installations. It is possible to switch between seven different inputs, which are directly accessed by keys on the front panel or on the remote control.
Each input can be configured in different ways, shown below with an “X”.
The factory settings are marked with [ ] brackets. Changes to this setting can be made under the config.input menu.

*The Pure Audio input can be either an XLR or Phono input.
For the audio signals, one of three options in the upper three rows must be selected under the config.input menu.
The S-video and Composite video switching works in parallel and the final selection between S-video and Composite video must be made at the TV-set (or projector).
The Pure Audio input can selected as both XLR balanced or unbalanced phono input. A short push on the “PURE AUDIO” key selects the XLR input. By holding down this button down for more than one second, you select the Pure Audio phono input. The Pure Audio input will bypass the DSP circuits and is recommended for high quality music listening in stereo e.g. from CD player or other analogue source.
Alternatively, for high quality music listening in stereo, connect the digital output from a CD player or DVD player to one of the available digital inputs in the PR250B and use the balanced 24bit D/A conversion for L and R channels, built into the PR250B.
The Space PR250 B is also optimised for D/A conversion of the new 96KHz/24bit stereo DVD disc’s with music.
