1.3.2.7 IR REMOTE CONNECTORS

a) MAIN IR (Xantech compatible: 3.5” mini-jack x 1)

b) ZONE IR (Xantech compatible: 3.5” mini-jack x 1)

The MAIN IR jack allows connection of an external

IR sensor that duplicates the SSP-75’s front panel

IR sensor. This IR input is particularly useful in

installations where the SSP-75 is placed in a closet

or behind the doors of an equipment cabinet, or

in a situation where you wish to have a hardwired

connection. The ZONE IR jack receives IR commands

from the Remote room. It functions precisely

the same as the MAIN IR input. In fact, when

controlling the remote ZONE from the remote area

you must send the ‘ZONE’ command to tell the

SSP-75 the following codes are to control the

operation of the remote ZONE.

1.3.2.8 DC OUTPUT CONNECTORS

a) MAIN DC, Supplies 12 volt DC while the

SSP-75 MAIN area is functional. No voltage when

in ‘Standby’. b) ZONE DC, Supplies 12 volt DC

while the SSP-75 ZONE is operating. No voltage

when ZONE is ‘OFF’.

The SSP-75 can provide a continuous 12 volts DC

to either or both outputs. You can turn the ZONE

on and off and also turn on or off all the other

equipment associated with the ZONE completely

separately from the operation of the MAIN area.

Even while the MAIN area is in standby you can

turn the 12 volt DC for the ZONE on or off by

pressing the ‘ZONE’ button on the remote

control wand and then pressing ‘Standby’.

1.3.2.9 MISCELLANEOUS

a) AC power switch

b) AC power cord receptacle

The AC power switch positively disconnects the

SSP-75 from all AC power when it is in the OFF

position, even if the AC cord is connected to a

live AC outlet. In the ON position, while in the

‘Standby’ mode, the SSP-75’s basic circuits (central

microprocessor and remote sensors) are always

active providing, of course, that the AC cord is

plugged into a live current source.

The AC power cord receptacle is the standard IEC-

type used for test equipment, computers, and high

quality audio/video components. It accepts a wide

variety of detachable AC power cords.

SECTION 2:

INSTALLATION OVERVIEW

This Section discusses the broad concepts of

installation, setup, and menu usage. It is an outline

for the experienced installer, not a step-by-step

guide to all the configuration choices available.

You’ll find examples that suggest possible

approaches incorporating the SSP-75’s remarkable

flexibility. The following Sections contain specific

instructions for each topic outlined here.

2.1 SYSTEM HOOKUP:

REAR PANEL CONNECTIONS

2.1.1 CONNECTION TO POWER AMPLIFIER(S)

For Left Front, Right Front, Center, Left Surround,

Right Surround and Sub channels, choose XLR

(balanced), RCA (single ended), or any combination

of XLR and RCA. We recommend XLR.

The SSP-75 contains a digital-domain bass

crossover. For that reason, to avoid adding cross-

over slope to cross-over slope, we recommend that

you consider bypassing any other crossover in the

signal path.

2.1.2 AUDIO SOURCE COMPONENTS

The SSP-75 could conceivably handle up to 18

audio sources because it is capable of automatically

distinguishing between analog and digital signals

and prioritizing them. It will also automatically

recognize and properly decode the different digital

formats available. It is also capable of directing two

separate audio and video signal streams to two

separate locations.

There are 6 dedicated Audio-only SOUCEs (which

only means there is no video input associated with

them), and 6 dedicated audio-video SOURCEs

(which, naturally, means a video input is to be

dedicated to each one). Each Audio-only input can

have a digital or an analog input. During setup you

select which input is to associated with the audio-

only SOURCE. When setting up the Audio/Video

SOURCEs you select which audio and which Video

inputs are associated with each.

The two-channel analog inputs associated with

AUDIO 6 are Balanced (XLR) inputs only.

The SSP-75 can accommodate up to 7 digital audio

sources and up to 11 analog audio sources. Of

course it is extremely unlikely that anywhere near

that many sources would be connected to the SSP-

75. However; as you can imagine, with all this

flexibility, there is very good likely-hood that there

is a way to configure even the most complex

Audio/Video installation.
