System Configuration; The Menu System - Classe Audio SSP-25 Owner's Manual

This Section describes setup decisions and procedures normally done only during the
initial system setup. This Section leads you through a typical setup process and shows
you how to save the configuration in non-volatile memory so that your choices do not
disappear when power is lost. These settings can be recalled in the future to restore
proper system configuration. If something changes in the system after the initial setup
(adding a new source, or moving speakers, listening position, etc.) these settings can be
revised and re-saved in the Installation Memory.
We recommend that you write down the choices you will make during an installation.
If you choose to upgrade the SSP-25's software in the future or perform a system reset,
these steps must be repeated in their entirety when the upgrade is installed.
2.2.1

The MENU System

The SSP-25's menu system allows easy configuration. The "menu tree" has three main branches: Mode, Source,
and System. (See page 31 for view of Menu Tree).
2.2.1.1 Mode allows you to select between Dolby Digital setup and Stereo Surround Setup. You'll find specific
instructions for all these functions in Sections 5.3 through 5.6.
2.2.1.2 Source allows you to customize the seven inputs, from AV1 through AUD3. Section 5.8 contains the
appropriate details.
2.2.1.3 System allows you to customize the settings which govern the operation of all inputs and outputs. See
Section 5.9 for details.
First, we'll explain the term "Present State Memory." Simply speaking, the SSP-25's "Present State"
is simply the current condition of all parameters addressed by front panel or remote controls. For
example, changing inputs from AV1 to AV2 changes "Present State" from AV1 to AV2. Changing the
surround mode from Dolby Digital to DTS changes "Present State" to DTS. Changing center speaker
configuration from Limited to Full Bandwidth changes "Present State." The only parameters NOT
covered under "Present State" are Mute and TRIM. The SSP-25 remembers "Present State" when
going into "Standby" mode or when AC power is totally disconnected. The input is remembered, as
well as mode. Master Level remains at the same level but Mute will return to OFF when the SSP-25
leaves "Standby." When AC power is returned the SSP-25 will turn on in "Standby" mode. When you
then return it to full operation it will briefly pass through a "Mute" state, then automatically go to full
operation with all settings, including volume returned to the level they were at when AC power was
removed.
As a convenience, the SSP-25 allows the user to save "Present State" parameters into a non-volatile
Installation Memory. You can make a long series of changes to "Present State" and then save the
result in the Installation Memory. (This is exactly what you will do the first time you complete a
"system configuration" with the SSP-25's menu system.)
The Installation Setup should be created and saved by an expert installer or a sophisticated user. It
should not be changed by the less knowledgeable.
The Factory Default setting is in read-only memory. When recalled the SSP-25's "Present State" is
changed to the operating status as it left the factory.
