Using the SSP-600
Your SSP-600 includes a versatile touchscreen LCD display which supports most
of your day-to-day operations (as well as a flexible menu system for functions
you use less often). While the use of this touchscreen is quite intuitive, it is
also quite extensive. This section of the owner’s manual outlines the use of this
touchscreen in day-to-day operation of the system.
The main, home menu provides easy access to the most basic functions of the
surround processor: source selection and mode selection. It also gives you the
ability to “preview” a source prior to actually sending it to the main display of
your home theater, and quick access to some controls you may use regularly.
Finally, it provides both a numeric and a graphic depiction of the current volume
setting.
source selection Pressing any of the source buttons on the touchscreen will activate the
corresponding input. Note that the more
button in the top right corner brings
up a second page of sources, for a total of twelve.
If you do not have this many sources in your system, you can elect to deactivate
any unused inputs. Doing so removes their associated buttons from the
touchscreen, reducing confusion for occasional users of the system. If you have
six or fewer sources, the second page (accessed by the more button mentioned
above) will not appear. See The Menu System for details on deactivating unused
inputs.
mode selection While you can specify default surround processing modes for each individual
input, you may occasionally wish to choose something other than the default
for a particular recording. For example, when watching a classic movie from the
1940’s, you may prefer to hear it in the original mono mode (using only the
center channel speaker).
