automation Touching the Automation option displays the Automation volume speed setup
page, shown below.
Th is volume control is specifi cally for use with automation control systems. Such
control systems can vary in how quickly they repeat ramped volume commands.
By fi rst selecting a suitable volume control speed on the SSP-800 Surround
Sound Processor, the programming required to tailor the speed from the control
interface is simplifi ed.
mute setup Th e Mute Setup page allows you to choose how the mute button functions. Th e
options for mute control are:
• classic - completely mutes all audio so that when the Mute button is
pressed, no audio is heard.
• specifi c - allows you to select the exact value to which the volume is
attenuated. If the current volume is already below that level when muting
is engaged, the volume remains unchanged.
• damping - reduces the current listening level by a specifi ed amount..
Th e Specifi c and Damping options are especially useful in situations where
you still want to hear the audio source but need to reduce the volume level
temporarily. For example, let’s say you are watching a football game and the
phone rings. You need to take the call but would still like to monitor the
progress of the game. Pressing the Mute button, while it’s set for specifi c and
damping, provides a simple solution.
