Classe Audio SSP-300 - Manual (Page 47)

The position button allows you to assign a default position setting (a collection
of level and delay settings) to a particular input. (This default setting can be
temporarily overridden at any time in the Home menu.)
The video button takes you to a menu in which you can specify what type of
video signal (if any) the source being set up will supply.
• SDTV (“standard definition television”) takes you to a scrolling
list of the available video connections appropriate for standard
definition (480/60i or 525/50i), so you can specify which
connection you will use with this source. These include four
composite, five S-video and three component video connections.
• video on toggles on (highlighted) and off (not highlighted) as
you touch the button. When on, the SSP-300 will replace the
video signal from the component in question with an on-screen
version of the menu system when you access the menu system. If
you prefer to use only the touchscreen LCD display for this user
interface, leave the video off on this (and any other) input.
• bypass is used with the component video connections only, and is
used with high definition (HDTV) sources for the purest possible
signal path, with the widest possible bandwidth (in order to
preserve all the detail these broadcasts have to offer). If you have
a HD source such as HD satellite or cable, connect it via one of
your component inputs and select bypass to ensure that the signal
is passed along to your display without any alteration.
• audio only toggles on (highlighted) and off (not highlighted) as
you touch the button. When on, this setting indicates that the
source is an audio-only source such as a CD player, and disengages
all video circuitry while this source is selected.
If you assign both SDTV and bypass video connections for a particular input,
the bypass connection will be used for the main output of your system, and the
SDTV signal will be used for all composite and S-video outputs.
For example, many progressively-scanned DVD players support both a
progressive component output and interlaced composite/S-video outputs at the
same time. By defining both connections and wiring the system accordingly, you
can enjoy the high quality progressive output on your main display while also
being able to route the standard definition version of the same signal to a remote
zone or other component.
The next input button simply moves you along to the next input, so as to allow
you to perform the initial setup of your processor more efficiently.
