SSP Configurations

[Nolan B]

Does anyone know why you cannot choose a default configuration or the 7.1 analog input? Since its clear its not a pure bybass and that trim levels and distance levels are applied to the input why does very other input allow you to choose which config you want to set for the input , but the 7.1?

Seems strange

umm.. thats not exactly true. Give me time to ponder it, but 7.1 bypass is a pure bypass. I hope I haven't led you astray in trying to explain things with it.

If what you are saying was the case, then one would not need to use levels in a blu-ray/sacd player.

You didint leave me astray...i have done tests.

Try this:

1.) play something through the analog inputs

2.) Go into system setup

3.) go into configuration

4.) Choose a config...at this point the SSP will go out of a config making all speakers go to the factory default then after a couple of seconds the SSP will switch to the config you just selected.

5.) When in that config you can manually adjust the trim levels while the source is playing. I can assure you that trim levels are applied to the incoming signal. Boost the SW up to test


The interesting thing is that you when in "bypass 7.1" mode the only way to switch is to go into the "setup" and select a new one. You cant even change a config the regular way when in byspass because that button is greyed out.



Interesting but true.

As a work around I have the difference Configs set to my F keys so I can easily switch between them.


The only thing I cant really determine is if the distance settings are being applied. perhaps not since the levels settings are volume based and the distance settings are DSP based.
