The System Trims menu controls several parameters of the SSP-300’s operation that may occasionally need adjustment to suit a particular recording.

•level trims are provided for L/R balance, center, surround, rear speakers, and subwoofer. As an example, you might bump up the center channel speaker by 2-3 dB if the dialog in a particular movie is difficult to understand. Note: level trims for surround and rear speakers are grouped together as “surround”.

•audio delay provides an overall (“lipsync”) delay in cases where the video signal seems to be trailing the audio by a bit. (Note that the sensitivity of different people to this potential synchronization problem varies widely.) You may occasionally run into a DVD with this problem, due to inattentive mastering of the disc itself. If you perceive this problem most of the time, you should make the adjustment in the delay setting for that particular input, in the System Setup menu; if it seems related to a particular disc, make the adjustment here.

•Dolby late night mode offers intelligent moderation of the dynamic range in Dolby Digital recordings. This is especially useful when you want to watch a movie in the evening, but are concerned about disturbing either the neighbors or others in the household who might prefer to be sleeping during your action movie. This feature is specific to Dolby Digital soundtracks, and is grayed out (not available) when listening to other formats.

•reset trims allows you to reset everything to the defaults settings, as determined by the settings found in the System Setup menu. (Note that the defaults settings are also restored automatically whenever you change sources.)

The Zone Control menu allows you to turn the remote zone on and off, to select the source you wish to enjoy in the remote zone, and to adjust the volume of that source.

Touching the decrease or increase buttons will adjust the volume accordingly. (The volume knob will not adjust the volume of the remote zone.)

The on button toggles the remote zone between active (highlighted) and inactive (not highlighted). Finally, source selection is done through the familiar source selection screens, by touching the source button.
