system trims The System Trims menu controls several parameters of the SSP-300’s operation that may
occasionally need adjustment to suit a particular recording.
• level trims are provided for L/R balance, center, surround, rear speakers, and
subwoofer. As an example, you might bump up the center channel speaker by 2-3
dB if the dialog in a particular movie is difficult to understand. Note: level trims
for surround and rear speakers are grouped together as “surround”.
• audio delay provides an overall (“lipsync”) delay in cases where the video signal
seems to be trailing the audio by a bit. (Note that the sensitivity of different people
to this potential synchronization problem varies widely.) You may occasionally run
into a DVD with this problem, due to inattentive mastering of the disc itself. If
you perceive this problem most of the time, you should make the adjustment in
the delay setting for that particular input, in the System Setup menu; if it seems
related to a particular disc, make the adjustment here.
• Dolby late night mode offers intelligent moderation of the dynamic range in
Dolby Digital recordings. This is especially useful when you want to watch a
movie in the evening, but are concerned about disturbing either the neighbors
or others in the household who might prefer to be sleeping during your action
movie. This feature is specific to Dolby Digital soundtracks, and is grayed out (not
available) when listening to other formats.
• reset trims allows you to reset everything to the defaults settings, as determined by
the settings found in the System Setup menu. (Note that the defaults settings are
also restored automatically whenever you change sources.)
zone control The Zone Control menu allows you to turn the remote zone on and off, to select the
source you wish to enjoy in the remote zone, and to adjust the volume of that source.
Touching the decrease or increase buttons will adjust the volume accordingly. (The
volume knob will not adjust the volume of the remote zone.)
The on button toggles the remote zone between active (highlighted) and inactive (not
highlighted). Finally, source selection is done through the familiar source selection
screens, by touching the source button.
