6.8.1 OSD DISCUSSION

The next step in setup is to tell the processor which

broadcast format you are using (NTSC or PAL). Also

at this menu level is the opportunity to turn ‘On’ or

‘Off’ the On Screen Display (OSD) for the

Component Video output.

The sole purpose of the first screen (above) is to

select the correct video format for your country. It

is unlikely you will have to change this setting as

we have set your machine for the format used in

your country. The SSP-75 can send video in either

the PAL format or the NTSC format. The US and

the rest of North America use NTSC, while Europe

and Asia generally use PAL. This menu level allows

you to correct the format if you move, or if the

format on your processor does not match the

format expected by your TV.

Press the /\ or \/ key to choose between the two

formats. Even if you don’t know the format the

correct format is obvious once you select it, as

the screen stops rolling.

6.8.2 OSD COMPONENT SETUP

Press either < or > key on the remote to access the

next step:

This step allows you to turn on the OSD (On Screen

Display) for the Component Video output only.

(There are separate jacks for OSD for the S-Video

and Composite Video outputs). Press the /\ or \/ key

to change from Yes to No or from No to Yes. If you

are using the TV Monitor and the Component

Video output to send it a TV signal the screen

will blank when you change from Yes to No.

When you select No there is no information sent

to the screen other than the video picture. We

recommend no OSD, as it leaves a greater amount

of Video bandwidth available, which enables a

better picture. Just use the OSD for setup, then

turn it off.

Press the MENU key again to reach the next setup

level: System Setup.

6.9 SYSTEM SETUP

You have two choices at this branch: RESET and

Zone volume setup. RESET resets all parameters

to factory defaults; erasing all the setup procedures

you have gone through. Zone volume can also

be set to be either a fixed output level, similar

to the record outputs, or variable, like the Main

volume control.

6.9.1 FACTORY RESET

The first screen to appear is the ‘Factory reset

vX.XX’. If you need to reset to Factory defaults

because your setup seems completely confusing

just press the ENTER key on the remote. The screen

will go dark and the SSP-75 will go into standby

mode after a few seconds. All the settings and

names and inputs will change back to what they

were when you first unpacked the processor.

Hopefully you have written down the configuration

you want. Hopefully you didn’t reset the processor

by accident.

You may decide to completely erase all of your

setups and start over from the beginning. You can

do this quite easily, but you should realize that all

options will be set to factory default. There is no

way to reverse a reset.

All settings are in a non-volatile memory, so even if

you unplug the processor from the AC it will not

‘forget’ its setup. Only RESET can erase your work.

6.9.2 REMOTE ZONE VOLUME CONTROL

If you wish to, you can also turn on or off the

volume control for the remote ZONE. Press either

< or > key on the remote to access the next step.

‘Zone vol fixed: No’ should appear on the screen.

Press the _ or \/ key to change from No to Yes or

from Yes to No. You would most likely change to

‘Yes’ (fixed) if you were interested in decoding the

Mixed two channel output with a Dolby Pro Logic

receiver. If the Zone is a simple two channel system

with an audio amplifier and a pair of speakers

you would most likely elect to use the Zone

volume control

Press MENU and hold for a moment to exit

from Setup and return the SSP-75 to full

operating mode.

This completes your work in customizing the

SSP-75’s options. Congratulations!

You’ve just navigated through the entire Main

MENU system. You’ve adjusted, selected, or

neglected all the choices allowed by the SSP-75.

By now, you’ve noticed a consistently easy way

to get to all the possible menu screens and should

be well prepared to configure your SSP-75 to

accommodate any changes you’ll make in your

system over the years.

SECTION 7:

OPERATING THE SSP-75

By this time, hopefully, you’ve become familiar

with the SSP-75’s basic operation and no doubt

feel comfortable with them. However, there are

a few points left to review. Some of the following

sections will be practical, some a bit more

theoretical. We have provided the information

below to help you better understand the SSP-75

and how to derive the most enjoyment from it.

7.1 THE INFORMATION DISPLAY SCREEN

7.1.0 INTRODUCTION

Although the SSP-75 has the option of OSD,

and although many users will rely on the OSD

for information about the current operation of the

processor, we have provided a display which makes

very comprehensive information available. In fact, it

is as easy to operate the processor using only the

information display screen. Below are some brief

descriptions of what you can see on.

7.1.1 SOURCE NAME

The Name of the SOURCE, whether the default

name or a name you have devised, appears in

the upper left of the display window.

7.1.2 MODE INDICATOR

In the upper right, under normal operating

conditions, the Information display tells you the

SSP-75’s current decode or Play Mode. Pressing

the MODE buttons on the remote wand will scroll

through the various available surround (or stereo)

modes of operation. (Pressing ENTER on the remote

or MEMORY on the faceplate will ‘memorize’ the

displayed setup, including the audio input. The next

time you access this SOURCE the ‘memorized’

setup will be recalled and used).

7.1.3 AUDIO INPUT

The wording in the lower left of the display tells

you which audio input is currently selected. You

can scroll through the various inputs, whether they

are digital or analog. (Pressing ENTER on the

remote

or MEMORY on the faceplate will ‘memorize’ the

displayed setup, including the Mode. The next time

you access this SOURCE the ‘memorized’ setup will

be recalled and used).

7.1.4 MASTER LEVEL INDICATOR

The numbers located in the lower right of the

display indicate the SSP-75’s master level (volume)

setting. The range is from ‘-80 dB’ (no output) to

‘+30 dB’ (full output). When you turn the Volume

control clockwise, you will increase the output of

all channels simultaneously and the numbers will

increase correspondingly. When you turn the

Volume control counterclockwise, you will decrease

both levels and their numerical representation..
