Extron electronics SSP 7.1 User Manual page 25

To select a listening mode:
1. Use the push button to toggle through the available listening modes. If no
mode override is selected, 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
will skip that mode and go to the next available mode.
3. If required, further define the selection using the SSP 7.1 Setup and Control
Software (see chapter 5).
The mode override selections that are available through the front panel are:
• Downmix (DOWNMIX) — downmixes any multi channel source format (digital

o Stereo, output on left front and right front channels.
o Mono, output to center channel only or to left and right front channels,

is further defined by control software as either DTS Neo:6 Cinema (default) or
DTS Neo:6 Music.

o Multichannel sources are downmixed and output to "Mono to All" or "Stereo
to All", as defined by the user.
o 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.
