The Remote Control
Your SSP-800 Surround Sound Processor includes a versatile remote control for both the processor itself and several aspects of the rest of a Classé-based system. The buttons are arranged in logical groups according to their functions. The remote control of the SSP-800 is shown on the left. The numbers in the drawing refer to the descriptions that follow.
1Basic Functions
The four buttons along the top of the remote control groups the following basic control functions:
•Light turns on the backlighting of the remote control for better visibility under low-light conditions. After a few moments of inactivity, the backlight switches off automatically.
•Info opens the Status display on the SSP-800 front panel touchscreen. See the Menu System section found later in the manual for details about the Status display.
•Display cycles through the three brightness levels of the front panel touchscreen display.
•Standby switches the SSP-800 between the Standby and Operate states.
2Audio Processing Functions
The next three buttons offer the following processing controls for the audio signal:
•Lipsync is an audio-only function that delays the arrival time of the audio portion of an A/V (Audio/Video) source. If the audio and video portions of the source do not reach the speakers and the display simultaneously, the resulting material appears to be out-of-sync. Video processing often delays video signals relative to the audio, with the result being that the audio track is played too early. The Lipsync function allows you to delay the audio until it is correctly synced to the video track. The adjustment range is 0 to 150 ms. Lipsync affects all channels equally.
•Night engages or disengages the Night mode for Dolby Digital soundtracks. The Night mode is a dynamic range compressor that reduces peaks and increases low-level passages so you can still enjoy the full range of movie soundtracks but with less chance of disturbing others.
•Mode displays the available surround modes on the front panel touchscreen. Press the navigation arrow keys to move up and down the list, then press Enter to make your selection. For additional information about the surround modes, refer to the Using the SSP-800section found later in this manual.
3Input Sel (Selection) Button
To change inputs, simply use the Input Selection arrow buttons to step through the inputs.
You can deactivate unused inputs to keep your input selection list smaller and easier to navigate. Refer to the Menu System section found later in the manual for further instructions.
