1.2 REMOTE CONTROL WAND
The keys on the SSP-75 remote are laid out in an
easy to use pattern. The first three rows, from DISP
through MODE > are a set of eleven buttons with
a variety of relatively unrelated tasks which, with
the exception of the STANDBY button, you will
probably use infrequently. The second section is
made up of the three rows beginning with TRIM
and ending with the single key \/. These seven keys
are used during the set up of the basic parameters
of the operation of the surround processor. The
remaining five rows, beginning with AV1 and
ending with the VOLUME /\ key are the keys you
will find yourself using most often. They include all
the direct access keys, the MUTE and VOLUME up
and down keys.
1.2.1 DISP
The first press causes the display to dim by about
90%, a second press returns the display to its
normal brightness. (While dimmed, the display
will brighten when any other button is pressed on
the remote and will return to the dim setting five
seconds after you have stopped pressing buttons).
The dim mode will continue indefinitely until the
dim button is pressed again.
NOTE: It does not reset when STANDBY is
pressed. It will reset to bright if the rear panel
on/off switch is cycled off and on, or if the AC
supply is interrupted
1.2.2 SLEEP
Causes a fifteen minute timer to start, to
automatically put the SSP-75 into standby. Up to
five more presses cause the timer to increase the
time period by 15 minutes and a seventh press will
exit the sleep timer program. At the end of the
programmed time period the SSP-75 will enter its
stand-by mode. Any equipment depending on the
12 volt trigger from the SSP-75 will also ‘turn off’.
The display also dims (or brightens and returns
to dim) when you access the countdown mode,
and also displays the time left in the center of the
second line of the of the display. (The display will
not brighten if a button is pressed). ‘SLEEP TIMER
OFF’ is displayed after you have pressed the ‘Sleep’
button a seventh time, or you merely
press and hold the sleep button.
NOTE: there is no provision to turn on the SSP-75
at a given time. During the last two minutes the
volume gradually diminishes to zero.
1.2.3 STANDBY
Pressing the STANDBY button causes the SSP-75
to turn on if off or off if on. AC power must be
supplied and the rear panel AC rocker switch
beside the power cord must be in the on position.
The ‘Standby’ Mode turns off all outputs and
blanks the display window. The 12 volt trigger
is also turned off and any equipment depending
on the trigger will also ‘turn off’.
1.2.4 A.CAL
‘AUTO-CALIBRATION’ There are provisions within
the setup program to utilize this key to turn on
or off an automatic calibration process for certain
audio functions. Requires the use of the
supplied microphone.
1.2.5 STATUS
Causes the SSP-75 to display on the TV screen
the setup for the currently selected input. The
displayed information includes the name of the
input, the decode mode, the location and type
of input selected.
NOTE: Similar information is always displayed
in the window of the SSP-75
1.2.6 <AUDIO
Causes the processor to scroll through and
instantly change the Audio input being used
to supply either digital or analog audio to the
analog outputs.
NOTE: If any digital input is selected any data on
that input will also pass through the SSP-75
unchanged and be present at the two
digital outputs.
1.2.7 AUDIO>
Causes the processor to scroll through and instantly
change the Audio input being used to supply either
digital or analog audio to the analog outputs.
NOTE: If any digital input is selected any data
on that input will also pass through the SSP-75
unchanged and be present at the two
digital outputs.
1.2.8 THX
Turns on (or off) THX processing of the DTS, Dolby
Digital or Dolby Pro-Logic decoded audio program.
See Appendix A for information on THX
1.2.9 COMP
Turns on (or off) a process to reduce the dynamic
range of a given playback utilizing dynamic
compression. The effect is to prevent the loud
passages from getting much louder than the
normal passages. You can turn it on when you
need to; perhaps at night when you don’t want
to disturb neighbors or family.

modes: Cinema (with or without THX), Stereo
(with or without THX), Mono (with or without
THX), Party, Music
