6.4 RECORDING DIGITAL AUDIO ONLY
6.4.1 SSP B D-VCR. Use a TOSlink cable to connect the output of the SSP-30 MKII’s digital output to the digital
input of the digital recording component. (If you are using one digital output for a Digital VCR you may use
the other for the Digital Tape Machine).
6.4.2 D-VCR B SSP. Use a digital Coaxial or TOSlink cable to connect the digital output of the of the digital
recording component to any available digital inputs (COAX 1 through COAX 4, or TOSlink 1or TOSlink 2 or
AES/EBU).
Section 7.0 - REMOTE ZONE USE
One of the strengths of the SSP-30 MKII is its ability to send a separate program to a remote Zone. It can send a
composite picture (from a composite input) and an analog two channel audio signal to another room or a whole
house if you wish. You can send the same movie or program you are watching or an audio program or music from
another source if you wish. Though the REC outs only send the same signal (analog only) as the Main area is watching
and/or listening to, the Zone output can be from any analog audio and any attached composite video Source except
7.1.
You must use the remote control to access the remote Zone. Press the Zone button on the control. The panel of the
SSP-30 MKII, but not the TV, will display the following information shown in the
TV display.
Zone: VID1
Stereo Z.v: -20
Zone B off
Stereo M.Z: -20
Panel display Panel display
To enable the ‘Zone B’, press ‘Standby’, the display (see the panel display above) shows you are currently sending the
VID1 signal to the Remote Zone, and the volume is set at -20 dB. The display will be present for only a few seconds,
unless you press the Zone button again or one of the arrow keys situated around the ENTER key. Pressing the /\ or the
\/ key increases or reduces the audio volume level of the remote Zone.
If you wish to change the Source which is going to the remote Zone, immediately press the Zone button again. Press
the < or > keys to scroll through the ten analog (and six composite video) Sources.
Because you can use a different source from the one in the main area it is possible to utilize the Zone as a record out.
You would need to do a certain amount of experimenting to insure you were not sending too hot an audio signal to
the recording device, and the quality of the video might be compromised slightly by the limitation of only having a
composite video out. Though the Zone out is really designed to add the ability to feed other rooms with different
program material, it is possible to come up with other uses for it.
