[. . . ] OWNER'S MANUAL SSP-60 Pre-amplifier/Surround Sound Processor 1 IMPORTANT: SAFETY INFORMATION CAUTION: PLEASE READ AND OBSERVE ALL WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS IN THIS OWNER'S MANUAL AND ALL THOSE MARKED ON THE UNIT. Do not open the SSP-60 for any reason, there are no user serviceable parts inside. An open unit, particularly if it is still connected to an AC source, presents a potentially lethal shock hazard. To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose the SSP-60 to water or moisture. [. . . ] The Preset setup allows one to program five different presets, which can be assigned to any source in the "Source setup menu". This will be useful in the event that you require a different tonal balance depending on the source you are using in your system. For example, you might decide to have a different bass and treble setting for playback from your VCR. For as long as the specific source is selected: The preset Treble and Bass settings replace the settings in the Audio setup The preset Center, Surround, and Subwoofer levels are added to values in the Level setup. 5. 1. 2 · · · · 5. 1. 3 · · 17 5. 2 SPEAKER SETUP: Although this manual is following the setup sub-menus in the order they appear on the Main menu screen, you will need to set up the speakers first in the "Size setup" - Section 5. 2. 4. It will make it easier to properly set the speaker output levels if you have configured the SSP-60 so it "knows" what speakers you have in the system as well as the speaker sizes. You should also consult the manual for the speakers and for the subwoofer and decide what crossover frequency you should set for the subwoofer. Usually the crossover frequency will be around 80 Hz, but if your speakers are small and have no real bass capability you may wish to get more information from the woofer by setting the crossover at 100 or 120Hz. You may also wish to check with your dealer about this section of the setup sequence. Once the speaker sizes are set, use the "Distance setup" (Section 5. 2. 3), or `Dist. autocalibrate' (Section 5. 2. 5) to set the correct distances before moving on to the "Level setup" or "Level autocalibrate" sub-menus. These displays show that you have accessed the Speaker setup sub-menu and highlighted the Level setup. You can scan through the available choices by pressing the \/ and /\ buttons on the remote. When the sub-menu you wish to adjust is highlighted press the ENTER key to make a selection. To leave this menu scroll down to Exit and press the ENTER key.

You can do it by hand with the aid of a Sound Pressure Level (SPL) meter. An inexpensive but relatively accurate meter is available at most Radio Shack stores, or through their catalog. You can also do it automatically using the supplied microphone and the auto-calibrate procedure (refer to section 5. 2. 4 for more details). Classé recommends all speakers be set at equal levels, at a sound pressure level of 75dB. This level will usually enable you to watch movies with the Volume control set at 0dB, depending of course upon the show, how loud you like to listen and, of course, your neighbors.
