Using the SSP-600

Your SSP-600 includes a versatile touchscreen LCD display which supports most of your day-to-day operations (as well as a flexible menu system for functions you use less often). While the use of this touchscreen is quite intuitive, it is also quite extensive. This section of the owner’s manual outlines the use of this touchscreen in day-to-day operation of the system.

The main, home menu provides easy access to the most basic functions of the surround processor: source selection and mode selection. It also gives you the ability to “preview” a source prior to actually sending it to the main display of your home theater, and quick access to some controls you may use regularly.

Finally, it provides both a numeric and a graphic depiction of the current volume setting.

Pressing any of the source buttons on the touchscreen will activate the corresponding input. Note that the more button in the top right corner brings up a second page of sources, for a total of twelve.

If you do not have this many sources in your system, you can elect to deactivate any unused inputs. Doing so removes their associated buttons from the touchscreen, reducing confusion for occasional users of the system. If you have six or fewer sources, the second page (accessed by the more button mentioned above) will not appear. See The Menu System for details on deactivating unused inputs.

While you can specify default surround processing modes for each individual input, you may occasionally wish to choose something other than the default for a particular recording. For example, when watching a classic movie from the 1940’s, you may prefer to hear it in the original mono mode (using only the center channel speaker).
