SSP100 Quick Setup Guide Introduction

The purpose of this quick setup guide is to enable an individual with minimal experience of the SSP100 to get the SSP operational within a home cinema. The first steps are,

· Get a picture on the screen or display

· Connect a source e.g. DVD player and get its video onto the display

· Get the audio system operational

When the system is operational the fine-tuning of the system can begin.

Setup Overview

The flow chart below indicates typical steps required to get a home theatre connected and operational to the point where fine-tuning can commence. The flow chart assumes the audio system is in place. If the audio system is not in place connect a display and source to the SSP100 and continue with the setup.

The sequence in the flow chart above shows a typical setup but it is not necessary to follow the sequence as outlined. The steps which follow show how to get a video picture on the main display, how to setup a source and how to get the audio system working.

It is essential to understand the capabilities and specifications of the display and sources to ensure you get the best performance from your system. It is as important to setup the display and sources correctly as it is to set up the SSP100 correctly.

SETUP

SSP100 Default Settings for Input Sources 1- 10.

To simplify the setup of the SSP100 the factory default settings are in place. To get a video and audio signal from HDMI sources without going into the setup menu simply connect the source HDMI output to SSP100 HDMI inputs 1, 2 or 3. For sources with component video outputs use component video inputs 1, 2 or 3. See SSP80/100 Default Settings below.

Points to note on the default settings,

· The first six source inputs are audio / video and the last four, 7  10 are audio only. It is important to remember that the composite video and S-Video inputs 1-6 are directly linked to analog audio inputs 1-6 and source 1-6 respectively.

· Assignable audio and video inputs can be assigned to all 10 source inputs. Assignable inputs are

· HDMI 1  4

· Component video 1  4

· Digital audio coaxial 1  4

· Digital audio optical 1 & 2

· AES/EBU (SPDIF)

· To see the video on the front panel display always connect the composite video

output of a source to the SSP100 composite inputs

· To see the volume level from audio sources set the video type to Up-conv

Note: When a digital audio input is active it takes priority over an analog input to that source.
