The Audio Input menu allows you to select the offset, delay, and favorite processing settings, affecting how the audio from this input source is handled.

offsetis used to ensure that all analog source playback is at comparable levels. There can be significant differences in output levels among analog sources (this is not a problem with digital sources), which can lead to unexpected changes in volume when switching among multiple sources. The SSP provides an offset adjustment range from -5 to +10 dB.

delay introduces an audio delay to compensate for a delayed video signal. The delay is added to all channels and addresses the “lip sync” problems often found with modern digital televisions using sophisticated video processing. NOTE: If you see a consistent “lip sync” problem with all materials played by this input source, then adjust the delay parameter to compensate for the issue.

However, if you only notice problems with a few specific materials, then leave the input delay at its default value and make temporary adjustments to the System Trims menu, available from the Home page, while playing the problem source materials.

favorite processing determines whether Dolby Volume is automatically engaged when this source is selected. It also determines the default surround mode that the SSP initially uses when it receives either a two channel (“stereo”) or a multi-channel signal from the selected input source. For example, you may want to use Dolby Pro Logic II Music as the default mode for stereo signals from your CD player, while preferring plain two- channel reproduction for the signal from your FM tuner. Touching either the 2-channel or the multi-channel buttons displays a list of the available surround processing modes for the chosen signal type, from which you may select your preferred default setting for this source.

connector identifies which rear panel connection the input should use. Any of the rear panel audio inputs are assignable to any of the input setups.

HDMI audio can only be assigned once an HDMI video connector has been assigned to the input.

bypass select determines if the incoming analog signal is converted to digital format or left in an analog format. If the Bypass Select is NOT highlighted then the SSP converts all of the incoming analog signals to digital for further processing. If you prefer to pass your signals through the SSP unaltered, except for volume control, then touch the Bypass Select button to make it active. NOTE: This option is automatically selected when the Connector parameter is set to 7.1-bypass.

The Configuration button allows you to assign one of the six configuration options as the default for the input being set up. If you don’t want a specific configuration assigned to this input, select the No Default option. In this case, the last used configuration is maintained when the input is selected. Configurations are speaker setups, and are discussed in more detail later in this section.

NOTE: The default Configuration assignment can be temporarily overridden from the controls button on the Home page. See the section, Using the SSP-800/CT-SSP, for more details.
