Ventilation Requirements
The Model P300 does not have a built-in fan, nor does it require special measures to ensure proper
heat dissipation. However, it should be placed according to the guidelines below:
• It should always have at least one inch of free space on all sides.
• It should be placed in an environment free of excessive heat.
• In a rack system, the Model P300 should be placed at the bottom of the rack.
Heat output
Maximum: 85W / 290 BTU/hr.
Cables and Plugs
Use only mains cables and power plugs approved by Steinway Lyngdorf. Using other types may
cause damage to the system and will void the warranty.
Connecting
For cabling between the processor and amplifiers, please use RJ45 to RJ45 B standard cables. Use
only cables and connectors approved by Steinway Lyngdorf. Poor quality cables may violate safety/
EMC regulations as well as cause noise and interference.
• For cable lengths less than 1 meter, use CAT5E/shielded CAT6 cable.
• For cable lengths in excess of 1 meter, use double-shielded CAT5E cables.
• All RJ45 connectors should be shielded.
Please refer to the wiring diagram supplied by Steinway Lyngdorf to determine which cables you
need.

RoomPerfect™
Focus position
The focus filter improves the sound quality at a specific listening position. This makes the focus filter the best
solution for optimal sound quality at a single listening position.
It is possible to add multiple focus positions. This must be done after
RoomPerfect™ has been set up completely.
Edit distance
Be sure to select the unit of measure, then enter the distances to the speakers and woofers.
How to measure distances to speakers and woofers
The best results are obtained by using a laser-equipped measuring device. Before starting, place the
RoomPerfect™ microphone at listening height in the main listening position. For each channel,
measure the straight-line distance through the air from the tip of the RoomPerfect™ microphone to
the center of the tweeter unit in the loudspeaker in question. Do not measure distances at floor level,
as these measurements will not give acoustically accurate results.
When measuring distances to in-room boundary woofers:
• If the stack of woofers is taller than the listening position, measure the distance from the listening
position to the back edge of the middle of the stack of woofers.

Steinway & Sons P300 Owner’s manual
16
• If the woofers are lower than the listening position, measure the distance from the listening position
to the back edge of the top woofer.
When measuring distances to in-wall boundary woofers:
• If the stack of woofers is taller than the listening position, measure the distance from the listening
position to the dust cap of the middle of the stack of woofers.
• If the woofers are lower than the listening position, measure the distance from the listening position
to the top dust cap of the top woofer.
If in doubt, contact your Steinway Lyngdorf representative for guidance.
Do not measure distances at floor level, as these measurements will not give
acoustically accurate results.

How to Set Up RoomPerfect™
The RoomPerfect™ microphone is a very sensitive and finely calibrated device
which must be treated with utmost care. If the microphone has been dropped on the
floor, it may be damaged. If this is the case, obtain a new microphone from your
Steinway Lyngdorf representative before performing the system calibration.
Volume Setting
The system guides you through the selection of a proper calibration volume level. Follow the instructions on the
display to find the optimal volume setting for doing the calibration.
You can choose to use a volume setting other than the one requested by the system by choosing Use Current.
The calibration will not be inferior in quality, but the time required for an exact measurement will be longer. If the
volume setting is too high, the system will display Error – Clipping. Reduce the volume and try again.
RoomPerfect™ Preparations
• Place the RoomPerfectTM calibration microphone on the stand. Be sure to fasten the screws properly
so the microphone does not move during a measurement.
• Plug the supplied microphone cable into the microphone.
• Connect the microphone cable to the microphone terminal on the rear panel of your processor.
Placing the Microphone in the Focus Position
When you are prompted to place the microphone in the focus position, connect the microphone to the
microphone input on the back panel and place the microphone, using the microphone stand, in your primary
listening position. The height and the orientation of the microphone should correspond to your head’s height
and direction.
Press Enter and a test signal will start from the left speaker. The system will give an estimated optimal volume
for calibrating the system or will accept the current volume. Adjust the volume if required and retry the
measurement.
The calibration volume should not be so loud that it is inconvenient to you, or that it causes damage to your
loudspeakers. If this is the case, set it to a lower and more appropriate level. A low volume can result in a
longer calibration time or a measurement time-out. A low volume and long measurement will not affect the
quality of the end result.

Steinway & Sons P300 Owner’s manual
18
Measuring the Focus Position
When the calibration volume has been set, RoomPerfect™ will send a range of tones to measure the focus
position.
If there is noise in the room, the measurement may take longer. This will not affect the quality of the end result.
See RoomPerfect™ troubleshooting if the measurement stops prematurely, and then retry the measurement.
Measuring Random Room Positions
When the focus position has been measured, the next step is to measure the acoustical properties of the room.
It is important to perform well spaced measurements to get a comprehensive image of the acoustical properties
of the room. See RoomPerfect™ troubleshooting if the measurement stops prematurely.
Keep taking measurements until RoomKnowledge reaches 90%.
These are the rules of thumb when measuring the room:
• the microphone should be in random and varying positions, heights, and orientations. Point it
up/down/sideways, the more random positions the better.
• the measurements should cover the entire room, not only your listening area.
• do not take measurements behind plants, furniture, etc.

Steinway & Sons P300 Owner’s manual
19
• the microphone should not be closer than 0.5m/1.5ft from the floor, ceiling, and walls.
• the microphone should be at least 1m/3ft from the front of the loudspeakers.
• there should be at least 50cm/1.5ft between each measurement.
• do not take symmetrical measurements in the room.
Calculation of Focus and Global Filters
When room measurements are complete, the system will calculate the focus and global filters automatically.

Steinway & Sons P300 Owner’s manual

Video Setup
The Video Setup menu allows you to register the video system settings for the Model P300 video inputs and
outputs, which in turn dictates which video formats can be shown on the screen when these inputs and outputs
are activated.
Video Output
This menu manages the default and preferred setting for HDMI outputs. For each output you can individually
set up preferred resolution, video source, audio out, and the main video output for your device.
Video Input
In this menu you can change what is advertised in the EDID on the HDMI inputs.
HDMI 1-8
This section tells the source what video resolutions we support:
• Always - we always advertise support for the given resolution, regardless of what the TVs on the
outputs support.
• Never - we never advertise support for the given resolution, regardless of what the TVs on the
outputs support.
• One - we advertise support for the given resolution, if one of the TVs on the outputs support the
resolution.
• All - we advertise support for the given resolution, if all of the TVs on the outputs support the
resolution.
HDCP compatibility
Generally, this should only be changed if there are problems. Default is HDCP2.2, but if there are sources that
have difficulties with this, you can select one or more of the settings.
• HDCP 1.4 – we now only advertise HDCP 1.4 support.
• No DDC – there will be no communication on DDC, so the source cannot read the EDID. Also, this
will disable HDCP.
• Sink – we will look like a TV to the source. Some sources have very bad repeater support.
Audio setting
Here you can decide what audio formats to advertise support for. If you change to anything other than support
for bitrate, then the source will do the decoding.
