SSP100 Quick Setup Guide
Introduction
The purpose of this quick setup guide is to enable an individual with minimal experience of
the SSP100 to get the SSP operational within a home cinema. The first steps are,
·
Get a picture on the screen or display
·
Connect a source e.g. DVD player and get its video onto the display
·
Get the audio system operational
When the system is operational the fine-tuning of the system can begin.

Setup Overview

The flow chart below indicates typical steps required to get a home theatre connected and
operational to the point where fine-tuning can commence. The flow chart assumes the
audio system is in place. If the audio system is not in place connect a display and source to
the SSP100 and continue with the setup.

The sequence in the flow chart above shows a typical setup but it is not necessary to follow
the sequence as outlined. The steps which follow show how to get a video picture on the
main display, how to setup a source and how to get the audio system working.
It is essential to understand the capabilities and specifications of the display and sources
to ensure you get the best performance from your system. It is as important to setup
the display and sources correctly as it is to set up the SSP100 correctly.
