Input Selection

s
To All ( TO ALL ) — Distributes a mono or 2-channel source to all applicable channels.
•
Mono sources are sent to all available output channels, including center.
•
2-channel sources are sent to all stereo pairs only.
•
Multichannel sources are downmixed and output to Mono to All or Stereo to All, as
•
defined by the user.
Digital or analog stereo sources may be output to Mono to All or Stereo to All, as
•
defined by the user. If Mono to All is selected, the signal is downmixed to mono before
being output to all channels.
NOTE: If an analog mono source is on the left channel, Stereo to All listening mode
outputs only to the left channels of available stereo pairs. A right channel analog mono
source is output only to the right channels of available stereo pairs.
When used in conjunction with the Input buttons, the Mode Override button is used to mute all
outputs (see Mute Output on the next page).
The Mode Override button is used to perform a complete system reset (see
Reset on the next page).

The SSP 7.1 accepts four digital inputs and one analog input (see
page 4):
Inputs 1 and 2 accept digital signals through S/PDIF optical cables. The optical cable
•
supports TOSLINK or TOSLINK-compatible optical connectors that conform to
IEC-958, S/PDIF standards.
Inputs 3 and 4 accept digital signals through S/PDIF coaxial cables.
•
All four digital inputs accept 16-24 bits PCM audio at 32, 44.1, 48, 88.2, and 96 kHz sample
rates. They support Dolby Digital and DTS source formats.
NOTE:
For digital inputs, if there is no valid clock signal at the input and no lock is
achieved, the LED associated with the source blinks twice per second.
