Section 7.0 - Remote Zone Use
One of the strengths of the SSP-60 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 source (except 7.1) and the attached Composite video Source.
You must use the remote control to access the remote Zone. Press the Zone button on the control. The panel of the SSP-
60 (but not the OSD) will display the following.

To enable the ‘Zone B’, press ‘Standby’. The display (see the right display above) shows you are currently sending the AV1
signal to the remote Zone (along with the associated composite video signal VID1), and the zone 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. The Volume /\ or the Volume \/ key (or alternatively the /\ or the \/ keys) on the remote
control the audio volume level of the remote Zone.
If you wish to change the Source which is routed to the remote Zone, press the < or > keys to scroll through the ten
analog audio Sources (the first six of which are associated with the corresponding composite video sources VID1-VID6).
You can also select Zone sources directly with the AV1-AV6 and AUD1-AUD4 keys.
Because you can use a different source from the one in the main area, it is possible to use 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 recorded video will be limited by the quality of a Composite video signal. 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.
