operating voltage Th e operating voltage of your SSP-800 has been factory confi gured to 100V, 120V, 220V, 230V, or 240V AC, depending on the country in which you purchased it (in European Union countries, CE regulations specify 230V). Th is voltage setting is not user selectable. Ensure that the voltage rating on the rear panel of the SSP-800 Surround Sound Processor matches the AC voltage rating of your electrical outlet. If the AC voltage is incorrect, please contact your local authorized

2 Composite Video Inputs Th e SSP-800 supports two composite video inputs, with RCA connectors labeled 1 and 2. Use these inputs when the output of your source component is composite. A composite video signal (also called “baseband video” or “NTSC video”) combines the black & white and the color components of a video signal and transmits them over a single cable. Composite video transmission always generates interference between luminance and chrominance portions of the signal and, for tha

14 IR Input Use the IR input when the front panel IR window does not have a clear line-of-sight with the remote control, for instance, when the SSP-800 is installed in a cabinet or closet. Attach this input to an infrared repeater system to route signals from the remote control to the SSP-800 via a mono mini-jack (3.5mm phono). Th e list of available IR command codes can also be used in macros for sophisticated remote control systems, facilitating the control of the SSP-800 in the larger c
