If using an extra wide aspect ratio screen, you may find the need to raise the position of the OSD. Press the osd shift button to move the display upward. Each press moves the display upward 25 pixels. After six steps up the OSD location will revert to its bottom position. It is possible to walk the display up beyond this level by making six upward steps, saving the location, then making additional upward steps. The saved location will apply to whatever resolution the screen was displaying when the location was saved.

The Colors menu page gives you the ability to customize the color of the OSD and touchscreen. Besides the default blue, the screen may be shown in silver, red, or green. If a different color is chosen, the change takes place immediately so you can view the colors before leaving the menu page.

There are two common ways of displaying the volume information in a multi- channel system: absolute and relative.

The absolute system refers to the notion that most people think of the number

0 as meaning nothing, e.g., no sound at all. In this system, 0 means “sound off ” and larger numbers indicate high volumes. While this method is intuitive, there’s really no reference for how loud a particular setting is except through prior experience.

In the relative system, the volume referred to as 0dB indicates that no attenuation or gain is added to the signal. This setting is referred to as unity gain (a one-to-one relationship between the size of signals coming in vs. going out). This reference volume is the same level at which movies are played in theaters. Changes from this volume level are shown as either positive (louder) or negative (quieter). Showing volume in relative dB tells you precisely how much attenuation or amplification you are employing.

In any event, the SSP offers both systems so that you may choose what makes the most sense to you personally.

The SSP-800/CT-SSP incorporates both Dolby Pro Logic II and DTS Neo:6 technologies for converting a two-channel signal into an enjoyable multi-channel listening experience. The Dolby/DTS Setup menu allows you to modify the Dolby PLIIx Music or DTS Neo:6 Music processing settings to best suit your personal preferences , and to access the Dolby Volume setup page.

While they differ in the details of their implementation and in the subjective result, on a conceptual level they do the same thing: they analyze the information embedded in two-channel recordings, looking for clues that can indicate how the sound in those recordings might best be redistributed to the various speakers in a multi-channel system, simulating a discrete multi-channel recording.
