Source Name

The Source Name button provides a way to customize the names of the sources
as displayed on the Source Selection screen(s). For example, if you have an
outboard phono stage plugged into the R2/L2 RCA analog inputs, you might
want to rename the source button Phono to make it easier to remember.
To change source names, use the keyboard on the touchscreen. Note that the
size of the source buttons varies depending whether you have 1-3, 4-6 or 7-9+
sources enabled, so the length of name that may be fully displayed on the button
will likewise vary.
After entering the source name, press Enter on the keyboard to save the change.

Configuration

The Configuration button allows you to assign one of the up to six
configuration options (see Configuration Setup) as the default for the source
button being set up. Whenever this source is selected, that configuration will be
employed. You might set up one source such as a disc player to have a default
configuration with a subwoofer crossed over at 80 Hz for movies. You may then
set up another source button for the same disc player with a different default
configuration, perhaps one with a subwoofer crossed over at 40 Hz, for music.
Configurations are speaker setups, and are discussed in more detail later in this
section.

Volume

Two features are included that relate to the playback level of each source.
Input Offset is used to ensure that all sources playback at comparable level.
There can be significant differences in output levels, especially among analog
sources, which can lead to unexpected changes in volume when switching
among them. The Sigma SSP provides an input offset adjustment range from
-10 to +10 dB.
Dolby Volume may be enabled to be engaged independently for each source
whenever that source is selected. For more information on Dolby Volume, see
the description later in this manual in the section on Controls.

Favorite Mode

The Sigma SSP offers many levels of customization, designed to make everyday
operation easy and uncomplicated. The Favorite Mode feature is just such an
example. Each source button may be setup to automatically choose which mode
the SSP uses to process signals arriving at its input connector. A source used
for watching movies may have a different Favorite Mode assigned than one
used primarily for music listening, for example. In this way, mode selection is
not required as a separate step every time a source is changed. Just choose the
source and the pre-assigned Favorite Mode is automatically selected for it. A
two-channel music source might have stereo as its Favorite Mode while a Blu-ray
player is more likely to have a multichannel surround mode assigned.
NOTE: The default Configuration assignment can be temporarily
overridden from the Configurations button on the main Menu page. See
the section, Configurations, later in this manual, for more details.
