brightness The brightness setting of the SSP-300 has three possible values: low, medium,
and high. Select the appropriate setting based on the level of ambient light
typically found in your listening room while using the system. A
high brightness
setting usually works best in brightly-lit rooms; you may find that a lower setting
is less visually intrusive under more subdued lighting conditions.
timeout If you prefer listening to music in a dimly-lit or darkened room, you may find
even the low brightness setting of the display somewhat distracting. If so, you
can vary the timeout of the backlighting so as to turn it off entirely after a
period of inactivity you select.
In this context, activity refers to any use of the user interface. This includes hard
buttons, the LCD touchscreen, and the remote control.
For example, if you reduce the timeout to its minimum setting, the backlighting
will illuminate the display as soon as you interact with any of the SSP-300
controls, and stay on for only three seconds–just long enough for you to check
on something. If you continue to use any of the controls (at least once every
three seconds), the display will remain lit. It will then extinguish itself after three
seconds of inactivity on your part.
If you prefer the display of the SSP-300 to remain on whenever not in
standby, choose the never timeout setting. The lamp in the LCD display was
designed for harsh automotive environments and will give you many years of
reliable operation. If you plan to leave the unit on continuously, however, we
recommend that you keep the timeout delay set to less than one minute. (Note
that setting the brightness to a lower setting does not increase the life of the lamp.)
language The language menu offers you any of six different languages supported by the
SSP-300. Classé has provided our international distributors with a software tool
that makes it possible for them to customize the translations to suit their local
customs and terminology, in an effort to ensure that the SSP-300’s operation is
as intuitive to use in every country as it is in our home country of Canada.
OSD Touching the OSD button takes you to a screen on which you can select the
video system used in your country, so that the SSP-300 can create a compatible
on-screen display. The four choices are NTSC, PAL-B, PAL-M, and PAL-N.
Your local Classé dealer can assist you with selecting the appropriate setting if
you have any doubt.
Important Note! While choosing an incorrect OSD format will not damage
any equipment, it may disrupt your television’s ability to
display a picture for the duration of the OSD’s operation
(typically a few seconds). You can easily reset the OSD
format to the correct setting by using the LCD touchscreen
display on the SSP-300, which will always operate correctly.
