5Navigation and Control Menu Keys

The five keys at the center of this group are the navigation keys. They are similar to what you may have seen on remote controls for DVD players, and are used to navigate of the menu systems of the SSP-300. The four keys around the navigation keys are used to directly access certain control menu screen.

•Up/Down/Left/Right keys allow you to move within a particular menu screen, changing the highlighted item up/down/left/right as you like, from the comfort of your listening position.

•The Enter key allows you to select the highlighted item, having the same effect as if you had pressed the button on the LCD touchscreen.

•The Setup key brings up the System Setup menu screen. From there you can access screens that customize the volume control operation, control the inputs to your particular source components, set up the loudspeaker configuration and calibration, create shortcuts to your preferred or most frequently used functions and program the behavior of the SSP-300’s DC triggers.

•Home returns you to the start-up screen and offers four buttons (source, video preview, modes, and control). This provides a quick way to get back to normal operation, regardless of how deep you might be in the menu system.

•The Trim key takes you directly to the system trims screen in the menu system. Using the touchscreen or the remote control navigation keys you can adjust the speaker(s) as desired. Adjust the relative balance of the system by using the Enter key on the remote to “press” the appropriate button on the display.

•The Zone key brings up the Zone Control menu on the on-screen display, allowing you to make changes to the status, source or the volume of the remote zone.

6F1/F2/F3/F4 keys

F1/F2/F3/F4 keys are available for controlling aspects of the SSP-300 not covered by the other buttons on the remote control. You are able to choose what the SSP- 300 should do in response to receiving the infrared signal that a particular Fkey has been pressed. The list of possible functions is quite extensive, and is found in the menu system (see the section The Menu System, in this manual).

The Fkeys on all Classé remote controls issue the same infrared commands. This saves you from having to be sure you have grabbed the proper remote, since all your Classé remotes will perform the same function for each Fkey.
