Mode Override Selection
g
Mode Override selector — The SSP 7.1 has a wide range of listening modes,
although not all listening modes are compatible with every source format. The speaker
configuration of the system may further limit which listening mode is available for a
source format. Other factors, such as the room layout and listener preferences, may also
influence the listening mode selection.
The SSP 7.1 has default listening modes associated with each source format. The front
panel provides the user with a limited set of Mode Override settings. These can change
the listening mode that is associated with a specific combination of source format
and input. The override selections can be further defined using the SSP 7.1 Setup and
Control Software, or SIS commands.
The new, user-defined listening mode continues to be associated with that source
format until Mode Override is used, again, to associate a new listening mode with the
source format. To select a listening mode:
1. Use the push button to toggle through the available listening
modes. When no mode override is chosen, none of the LEDs
light, indicating that a user-defined listening mode is in use.
Otherwise, one of the four LEDs shows the current selection.
2. Release the button when the desired LED is lit to select that
listening mode. If a listening mode is not an available option
for the current input source, toggling the button skips that mode and goes to the next
available mode.
3. If required, further define the selection using the SSP 7.1 Setup and Control Software
Listening Mode Setup Tab (page 45).
The mode override selections that are available through the front panel are:
z
Downmix (DOWNMIX) — Downmixes any multichannel source format (digital
inputs only). It also downmixes a 2-channel source format, if the listening mode is
