brightness e Brightness setting of the SSP front panel touchscreen 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.

nd 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
nd even the low brightness setting of the display somewhat distracting. You
can essentially turn o the touchscreen by reducing the timeout value of the
backlighting so as to turn it o entirely after a period of inactivity you select. In
this context, activity refers to any use of the user interface. is includes hard
buttons, the LCD touchscreen, and the remote control.
For example, if you reduce the timeout to its minimum setting, the backlighting
illuminates the display as soon as you interact with any of the SSP controls, and
remains lit for only three seconds – just long enough for you to check a setting.
If you continue to use any of the controls (at least once every three seconds), the
display remains lit. After three seconds of inactivity on your part, the backlight
extinguishes itself, essentially turning o the touchscreen. Or, if you prefer
to have the active source preview, instead of a black screen, you can select the
timeout value of the touchscreen and then highlight video on timeout. When
the touchscreen timeout value is reached, the active video source is shown on the
touchscreen.
If you prefer the display of the SSP to remain on whenever not in Standby
mode, select the Never option. e lamp in the touchscreen display is
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: setting the brightness to a lower setting does not increase
the life of the lamp.
