brightness The brightness setting of the SSP-300 has three possible values: low, medium, and high.
Select the appropriate setting based on the level of ambient light typically found in your
listening room while using the system. A high brightness setting usually works best in
brightly-lit rooms; you may find that a lower setting is less visually intrusive under more
subdued lighting conditions.
timeout If you prefer listening to music in a dimly-lit or darkened room, you may find even
the low brightness setting of the display somewhat distracting. If so, you can vary the
timeout of the backlighting so as to turn it off entirely after a period of inactivity you
select.
In this context, activity refers to any use of the user interface. This includes hard buttons,
the LCD touchscreen, and the remote control.
For example, if you reduce the timeout to its minimum setting, the backlighting will
illuminate the display as soon as you interact with any of the SSP-300 controls, and
stay on for only three seconds–just long enough for you to check on something. If you
continue to use any of the controls (at least once every three seconds), the display will
remain lit. It will then extinguish itself after three seconds of inactivity on your part. Or
if you prefer, instead of a blank screen, after selecting the time in which the LCD will
turn off, and then selecting “video on timeout,” the main video source will be shown on
the LCD.
If you prefer the display of the SSP-300 to remain on whenever not in standby
, choose
the never timeout setting. The lamp in the LCD display was designed for harsh
automotive environments and will give you many years of reliable operation. If you plan
to leave the unit on continuously, however, we recommend that you keep the timeout
delay set to less than one minute. (Note that setting the brightness to a lower setting does not
increase the life of the lamp.)
language The language menu offers you any of six different languages supported by the SSP-
300. Classé has provided our international distributors with a software tool that
makes it possible for them to customize the translations to suit their local customs and
terminology, in an effort to ensure that the SSP-300’s operation is as intuitive to use in
every country as it is in our home country of Canada.
OSD Touching the OSD button takes you to a screen on which you can select the video
system used in your country, so that the SSP-300 can create a compatible on-screen
display. The four choices are NTSC, PAL-B, PAL-M, and PAL-N. Your local Classé
dealer can assist you with selecting the appropriate setting if you have any doubt.
Important Note! While choosing an incorrect OSD format will not damage any
equipment, it may disrupt your television’s ability to display a picture
for the duration of the OSD’s operation (typically a few seconds). You
can easily reset the OSD format to the correct setting by using the LCD
touchscreen display on the SSP-300, which will always operate correctly.
