decoding and has several
modes that may be used to enhance a normal stereo signal. It also functions as a high quality stereo preamplifier. The 7.1
channel input is equipped with comprehensive volume control facilities and ensures that the SSP-60 may remain
compatible with new multi-channel formats as they appear.
The SSP-60 accepts up to seven digital input sources, ten line-level input sources, one balanced analog input plus a tape
loop and two additional record outputs. It has six composite and S-Video inputs, three component video inputs,
composite, S-Video and component monitor outputs, composite and S-video record outputs and an S-Video monitor
output without On Screen Display (OSD) for highest quality video performance.
The SSP-60 has two main modes of operation. In the normal operation mode the SSP-60 automatically senses the type of
the incoming signal and selects the best mode for that signal. The user can over-ride the automatic selection and select
different post-processing modes for the incoming signals. These modes include a mono down-mix, stereo, Stereo96,
Dolby Pro Logic, Dolby Pro Logic II (Movie), Neo6 Cinema and four Music modes: Natural, Party, PLII Music, Neo6:
Music. The user can bypass the digital section of the SSP-60, if desired, and connect, for example, a high quality stereo
source to the Left and Right channels of the 7.1 channel input.
The SSP-60 is supplied with a comprehensive infrared (IR) remote control.
Options for system integration are provided by RC5 jacks to interface with other Classé products, by the three 12VDC
trigger outputs to control external equipment and by communication with a PC or home automation system via the RS 232
interface.
The SSP-60 has a complete and well-thought-out panel of connections that can accommodate a complex audio and
theater system.
