3 Touchscreen
Th e front panel touchscreen has two main functions:
• Navigation of the SSP-800 menus and controls by simply
touching the screen to make your selections.
• Viewing incoming video from the selected source.
4 Audio Mute Control
Th
e Mute button reduces the SSP-800’s volume by a pre-determined
amount. Pressing it a second time restores the volume to its previous level.
Th
is behavior can be easily customized for very specifi c user requirements.
(See the section on Volume Setup for more information.)
NOTE: If you increase the volume using either the front panel
volume knob or the remote control while Mute is engaged, the
mute control disengages, and audio adjustments are executed
starting from the muted level. Th
is is a safety measure to prevent
accidentally restoring the volume at unexpectedly high levels.
5 IR window
Th e location of the IR (infrared) sensor for the remote control is behind
this window. In most cases, there must be a clear path between the IR
window and the remote control in order for the SSP-800 to acknowledge
the remote control commands.
If the IR window is not in view, for example if it’s placed in a cabinet or
closet, then the rear panel IR input can be utilized for remote control use.
For more details about this option, see the IR input description in the Rear
Panel section found later in this manual.
In addition to receiving IR commands, the SSP-800 can also transmit IR
commands to third-party learning remote controls. For more details about
this option, refer to the Teach IR description in the Menu Tree section
found later in this manual.
6 Volume Control Knob
Th
e large rotary knob on the right side of the front panel controls the
system volume level.
T he volume knob increases and decreases volume in precise 0.5dB
increments throughout most of the volume range. At extremely low
volume, the step size is increased somewhat to facilitate moving between
extremely low and normal listening levels. Th
e volume range is from
–99.0dB to +14.0dB.
You can also change the volume control display to suit your preferences.
For more information, refer to the Volume description in the Display Setup
section found later in this manual.
