The Remote Control

Your new surround processor comes with a versatile remote control which can control both the SSP-300 itself and several aspects of the rest of a Classé-based system. The buttons are arranged in logical groups according to their functions.

1Basic Functions

This section along the top of the remote control groups four functions that control your basic interactions with the SSP-300.

Light switches the backlighting of the remote control on, for better visibility under low-light conditions. After a few moments of inactivity, the backlight switches off automatically.

Info takes you directly to the status screen in the LCD menu system, displaying several items of information about the SSP-300 and its current operational status.

Display cycles through the three brightness settings of the screen display.

Standby toggles the SSP-300 between standby and operate.

2Audio Processing Keys

The next row of three buttons control how the SSP-300 processes the audio signal.

THX cycles through the available THX processing modes (e.g., THX Ultra 2 Cinema, THX Ultra 2 Music and THX off; the specifics depend on the input signal). This is a quick and easy way to get from whatever processing mode you may be in to the THX mode you’d like to have.

Night engages and disengages the Late Night mode for Dolby Digital soundtracks, allowing you to enjoy movies with less chance of disturbing others.

Mode brings up the mode select menu on-screen so you can choose from among any of the supported surround modes of the SSP-300 quickly and easily. Use the arrow keys to move up and down the list, and press enter to make your selection.

3Volume Keys

Volume Up, Volume Down, and Mute do what you would expect them to do.

4Input Selection

The Up and Down arrow keys will cycle through the active inputs on your SSP-300. If you have inputs you are not using, we suggest deactivating them in order to provide faster, easier access to the inputs you are actually using. (See the section The Menu System for information on how to do this.)

The Tape monitor key allows you to easily toggle between listening to the selected source and listening to the output of your recording device. If you have a recording device (such as a three-head tape deck) which can play back a recording while it is being made, you will be able to compare the original signal to the recording while you are making it.
