Timeout If you prefer listening to music in a dimly-lit or darkened room or the SSP is in
your eld of vision while watching movies, you may nd even the low brightness
settingofthedisplaysomewhatdistracting.Youcanessentiallyturnothe
touchscreen by reducing the timeout value of the backlighting so as to turn
it o entirely after a period of inactivity that you may select. In this context,
activity refers to any use of the user interface. is includes hard buttons, the
touchscreen, and the remote control.
For example, if you reduce the timeout to its minimum setting, the backlighting
illuminates the display as soon as you interact with any of the SSP controls, and
remains lit for only three seconds – just long enough for you to check a setting.
If you continue to use any of the controls (at least once every three seconds), the
display remains lit. After three seconds of inactivity on your part, the backlight
extinguishes itself, essentially turning o the touchscreen.
If you prefer the display of the SSP to remain on whenever not in Standby
mode, select the Never timeout option. e lamp in the touchscreen display is
designed for harsh automotive environments and will give you many years of
reliable operation. If you plan to leave the unit on continuously, however, we
recommend that you keep the timeout delay set to less than one minute.
NOTE: setting the brightness to a lower setting does not increase
the life of the lamp.

volume, source selection, stream type, etc., a smaller, temporary OSD appears
momentarily to identify and conrm that the change has occurred. Each of
