The Display Setup menu page, shown below, allows you to configure the brightness, display timeout, and language used in the front panel and menu system. It also determines the format and color of the OSD (on-screen display), and how volume settings are displayed on your system.

The Brightness setting of the SSP-800 front panel touchscreen has three possible values: low, medium, and high. Select the appropriate setting based on the level of ambient light typically found in your listening room while using the system. A high brightness setting usually works best in brightly-lit rooms; you may

find that a lower setting is less visually intrusive under more subdued lighting conditions.

If you prefer listening to music in a dimly-lit or darkened room, you may

find even the low brightness setting of the display somewhat distracting. You can essentially turn off the touchscreen by reducing the timeout value of the backlighting so as to turn it off entirely after a period of inactivity you select. In this context, activity refers to any use of the user interface. This includes hard buttons, the LCD touchscreen, and the remote control.

For example, if you reduce the timeout to its minimum setting, the backlighting illuminates the display as soon as you interact with any of the SSP-800 controls, and remains lit for only three seconds – just long enough for you to check a setting. If you continue to use any of the controls (at least once every three seconds), the display remains lit. After three seconds of inactivity on your part, the backlight extinguishes itself, essentially turning off the touchscreen. Or, if you prefer to have the active source preview, instead of a black screen, you can select the timeout value of the touchscreen and then highlight video on timeout. When the touchscreen timeout value is reached, the active video source is shown on the touchscreen.

If you prefer the display of the SSP-800 to remain on whenever not in Standby mode, select the Never option. The lamp in the touchscreen display is designed for harsh automotive environments and will give you many years of reliable operation. If you plan to leave the unit on continuously, however, we recommend that you keep the timeout delay set to less than one minute.

NOTE: setting the brightness to a lower setting does not increase the life of the lamp.
