This unlocks the spatial potential of all Dolby Surround-encoded sources. These include thousands of movie
videotapes, many standard television broadcasts, and a variety of games. (Note: The SSP-25 does all Pro
Logic decoding in the digital domain for maximum accuracy.)
7.4 Changing Individual Channel Levels
7.4.1 Introduction
Sometimes even the best installation and most accurate calibration isn’t enough. Sometimes a particular
movie soundtrack may not have quite the bass impact you’re looking for. Sometimes the ambient (rear
channel) information just isn’t loud enough to convince you that you’re in the Amazon jungle. Sometimes . . .
Whatever the reason, the SSP-25 gives you the tools to make instant adjustments to the output level for each
channel individually to construct a sound field customized not just to your room but to your mood at the
moment!
7.4.2 On-the-fly Techniques
While you’re watching a movie, press the ‘TRIM’ button and then the > or < keys on the remote control to
access: Left, Right, L-Surr, R-Surr, Sub, or Center.
Several things will happen: The display will show a level indicator corresponding to the channel you’ve just
selected and the name of that channel, the remote controls Volume Up and Volume Down keys will affect
only that channel’s output!
This allows you to increase bass level, decrease the output from either rear speaker, get more “punch” from
the center channel speaker, etc. Experiment with this a bit and you’ll see how easy it is. You’ll be able to
adjust levels to suit any source or any mood almost instantaneously. It’s a tremendous convenience,
especially considering that fact that you don’t have to enter the Main Menus system to do it..
