Now you are ready to power up your new SSP-300 and its
associated amplifiers.
Note that the initial power up takes approximately 90 seconds, during
which time the blue LED on the standby button will flash.
After approximately 45 seconds the LCD screen will display “initializing,
please wait….” Once this period is complete the LED light will remain on
while the LCD screen goes into standby mode.
A simple touch of the LCD screen will wake up the SSP-300 from its
standby mode. The LCD touchscreen will now display a blue screen titled
“intializing” for a further 15 seconds.

Connect the supplied calibration microphone to the MIC input on
the rear of the SSP-300, and use the auto-calibrate function of the
SSP-300 to finish your initial setup.
The auto-calibrate function of the SSP-300 can be found by touching the
following on-screen “buttons” in the LCD display, in this order:
• Path: MENU/system setup/speakers/position 1/autocalibration
• touch auto levels (and wait for the autocalibration to finish)
• touch auto delays
Hold the microphone upright at arm’s length so that it is approximately
where your head would be when seated at your preferred listening position,
and pointed at the ceiling.
Pink noise (at a low level) will automatically begin from the left front
speaker and rise slowly in volume. The SSP-300 generates this noise, listens
through the microphone, then increases the signal level gradually until the
Sound Pressure Level at the listening position is 75 dB. The SSP-300 will
test every speaker in the same sequence as described above and set their
levels to 75 dB.
SPECIAL NOTE FOR SUBWOOFER
We have observed that, depending on the acoustics of your listening space,
the subwoofer distance auto-calibration may fail or return unreasonable
results. If this happens try one of the following solutions: If the subwoofer
level was very soft during the first pass of the auto-calibration process,
increase it a bit to make the signal more audible. Try raising the crossover
frequency of the subwoofer (in the Audio Setup menu) or turning the
subwoofer filter off (which will make the selected crossover frequency
irrelevant). If all these measures fail, you will have to enter the subwoofer
distance manually through the Distance Setup menu.
