controls Touching the Controls option opens a new menu, as shown below. e
Controls page allows you to adjust a variety of processor functions, such as
audio levels and delays, as well as selecting listening confi gurations.
ese adjustments are temporary; when a new input is selected, the adjustments
are deleted and replaced with the saved values. If you want to recalibrate the
audio levels because of an equipment change, use the Speaker Setup menu, not
the Controls menu. Similarly, use the Input Setup menu to save a permanent
change to an audio delay or confi guration.
system trims e System Trims menu controls several parameters of the SSP-800’s operation
that may occasionally need adjustment to suit a particular recording. Touching
the System Trims option opens the System Trims menu page, as shown below.
e available adjustments are:
• level trims - provides Left/Right Balance, Centre, Surround, Rear,
Subwoofer, and Aux1/2 level adjustments. As an example, you might want
to raise the level of the Centre channel speaker by 2 or 3 db if the dialog
in a particular movie is diffi cult to understand. In addition to the normal
subwoofer trims, two additional buttons (LFE 0dB, and LFE -10dB) off er
an extra -10dB of trim. You may fi nd certain older DTS Music discs with
the LFE channel recorded 10dB higher than normal. e LFE -10dB
button allows you to quickly adjust for this scenario.
• audio delay - provides an overall delay, called Lipsync, to adjust for cases
where the timing of the video signal seems to trail the audio. You may run
into this problem with the occasional DVD, due to inattentive mastering
of the disc itself. If you fi nd this problem most of the time, then adjust
the delay setting for the input in the Setup menu. Remember that these
are only temporary trims, so use this system trim only for the occasional
adjustment needed for a specifi c disc.
• Dolby late night -
this mode off ers intelligent moderation of the dynamic
range in Dolby Digital recordings. is is especially useful when you want
to watch a movie in the evening, but are concerned about disturbing the
neighbors or others in the household who might prefer to be sleeping during
your action movie. is feature is specifi c to Dolby Digital soundtracks and is
grayed out, or unavailable, when listening to other surround formats.
• reset trims - allows you to reset the system trims back to the values
refl ected in the Setup menu for that input. NOTE: is is NOT a factory
default command.
