2 Menu button
Pressing the front panel Menu button will call up the menu system, replacing the
normal status display in the LCD touchscreen of the
SSP-300.
3 LCD touchscreen
Much of your interaction with the SSP-300 will be with the LCD touchscreen
(and the SSP-300’s supplied remote control). It will usually display the various
input selection buttons you would use in day-to-day operation, along with access
to the tape monitor button.
By pressing the Menu button, you can also call up the menu system of the SSP-
300, which gives you control over many of the operational details of the surround
processor, including system setup options, various
display options (including the
language in which the menu system itself displays), and several custom-installation
capabilities that allow superior integration of the SSP-300 into complex systems.
For more information, see the section The Menu System
later in this manual.
4 Mute button
The front panel Mute button reduces the volume of the surround processor
to zero at the touch of a button. Pressing the button a second time restores the
volume to its previous setting. The behavior of the mute can also be customized.
Setup information on this feature is available in the Volume Setup
section.
However, if you increase the volume manually (using either the volume knob
or the remote control) while the Mute button is engaged, the mute control will
disengage and the volume will be reset to zero. This approach is a safety measure,
to avoid situations in which the volume might be adjusted up while muted, only
to then have the system un-muted to an unexpectedly high volume.
5 IR window
The infrared (IR) receiver and transmitter are located behind this window.
Ordinarily, your Classé SSP-300 must be able to “see” the remote control from
this window in order to respond to remote control commands.
If your surround processor will be located behind closed doors, or for any other
reason will not be able to “see” the remote control during normal operation,
you may use the rear panel IR input and an infrared repeater system to solve the
problem. For more information about using an infrared repeater system to route
signals to the SSP-300, refer to the section Rear Panel
later in this manual, or
contact your local Classé dealer.
In addition to receiving IR commands, the SSP-300 can also transmit IR
commands so they may be learned by third-party learning remote controls. The
SSP-300 includes a comprehensive list of discrete IR commands to facilitate the
creation of reliable macros. Specifically, there are discrete codes for all commands
that normally operate as “toggle” functions (e.g. separate operate
and standby
commands in addition to the normal command that toggles between the two).
