Section 1: Diagrams

Use the pictures in this section as your guide to the SSP-25. They show the locations of all controls, inputs, outputs,

remote keys -- in short, everything you need to know about your new preamplifier/surround sound processor. Read

the notes under each diagram carefully. You’ll find capsule explanations of all important features. Once you read

them, you’ll understand most of the SSP-25’s capabilities.

1.1 Front Panel

1) VIDEO < & >

These pushbuttons select an audio/video source by stepping from AV1 through AV4 (Video >) or from AV 4

back through AV1 (< Video).

These buttons “wrap” to the next input. For example, if you are enjoying the AV4 input, pressing “Video >“ will

step to AV1. Conversely, pressing “< Video“ while using AV1 will select AV4.

If you press either the “< Video“ or “Video >“ button while listening to an audio-only input, the SSP-25 will

deselect the audio-only input and select the previous or next AV input from the one last used.

(See *NOTE

s below in “2) AUDIO< & >”)

2) AUDIO < & >

These pushbuttons work the same way as the Video < & > buttons described above. However, they select an

audio-only source. They “wrap” from AUD1 to AUD3 (< Audio) and from AUD3 to AUD1 (Audio >), though you

will notice that pressing the < or > button when the selected input is AUD3 or AUD1 deselects the AUDIO

ONLY inputs.

*NOTE

: When selecting an audio only input the last used AV input LED remains lit, though the AV input is

inactive.

*NOTE

: When you wish to return to listening to and watching an AV input after listening to an audio-only input

you may press a <VIDEO or VIDEO> button to move to the previous or next AV input. The currently active

AUDIO ONLY input LED will extinguish and the selected AV input will be active. You may also press the

<AUDIO or AUDIO> button once, twice or three times until the AUDIO ONLY LEDs are no longer lit. Each time

you press the < or > button the previous or next input is selected, unless AUD3 or AUD1 is selected. Pressing

the < button when AUD1 is selected or the > when AUD3 is selected, causes the AUDIO ONLY inputs to be

deselected and the currently lit AV input to become active again.
