Mode Override Selection - Extron electronics SSP 7.1 User Manual

Mode Override Selection

3 Mode Override selector (see figure 7, below) — The SSP 7.1 has a wide range of listening
modes, although not all listening modes are compatible with every source format. The
speaker configuration of the system may further limit which listening mode is available for
a source format. Other factors, such as the room layout and listener preferences, may also
influence the listening mode selection.
The SSP 7.1 has default listening modes associated with each source format. The front
panel provides the user with a limited set of Mode Override settings. These can change the
listening mode that is associated with a specific combination of source format and input. The
override selections can be further defined using the SSP 7.1 Setup and Control Software, or
SIS commands.
The new, user-defined listening mode continues to be associated with that source format
until Mode Override is used, again, to associate a new listening mode with the source
format. To select a listening mode:
1. Use the

override is chosen, none of the LEDs light, indicating
that a user-defined listening mode is in use. Otherwise,
one of the four LEDs shows the current selection.
2. Release the button when the desired LED is lit to
select that listening mode. If a listening mode is not an
available option for the current input source, toggling
the button skips that mode and goes to the next
available mode.
3. If required, further define the selection using the SSP 7.1 Setup and Control Software
