Section 3.0 - Front Panel Controls
SSP-30 MKII front face view
The SSP-30 MKII has an intuitive operation. The seven controls on the face of the processor give you all the
options you need to turn it on and use it successfully day after day.
3.1 The “STANDBY” button turns the SSP-30 MKII off and on. Actually there is an off/on switch on the rear of the
unit which turns the AC off and on, so the Standby button takes the unit in and out of standby if the AC
switch is On. When it is in Standby the light above the button glows green, when in “Operate” mode the
light is out and the display is lit. You can turn the SSP-30 MKII on and off using the “Standby” button on the
remote control.
3.2 The “MODE” buttons are used to scroll through all the available Music Modes of operation. The available
Music Modes depend on the audio input signal type. Appendix B shows all the available Music Modes
(subject to change) and indicates which speakers are active. The Subwoofer is not included in the table
since it is active if selected in the Speaker Setup.
3.3 The “INPUT” buttons are used to scroll left and right through the ten available Sources; AV1 – AV6 and
AUD1 – AUD4 and the External 7.1 input. Once the Sources are set up, when you access each one it will
begin to automatically process any audio or audio/video information correctly. If you wish to change the
processing style you can utilize the MODE buttons to scroll to the preferred method, as long as you are not
listening to DTS or Dolby Pro Logic.
3.4 The “TAPE” button selects the “PLAY” input and sends the program to the main output. The previously
selected Main Source remains as the source and continues to play through the “REC (n)” outputs. (See the
notes in Setup (section 6.0) regarding Taping).
3.5 The “MUTE” button mutes the audio output. Press the button again to return to the previous listening level.
Turning the volume up releases the Mute condition, while turning volume down maintains Mute until the
Mute button is pressed again.
3.6 The unlabeled “VOLUME” knob changes the volume in all of the connected speakers; left to reduce it and
right to increase it, just like any other volume control. (When the SSP-30 MKII is Muted the volume can be
“reduced” using the Volume control without coming out of Mute, but if the knob is turned to the right to
increase the volume the SSP-30 MKII will begin playing again immediately.)
3.7 The front panel display shows the current operation of the SSP-30 MKII, including the selected input, the
Format Mode and Mute or the current Volume level.
