Programming Audio & Video Links & Input Labels
Now that the source components have been connected to the SSD-66 (5.1) and you have
verified that the links between the audio and video inputs are in fact available on the SSD-66
(5.1), we can begin to program the Input Labels for the following:
a. Audio and Video Input Linking per Input Label
b. Changing the Input Label Names (Necessary when using the DTS-1)
Other functions, in particular Acoustical Parameters per Input Label as well as Global Param-
eters are discussed in the following sections. Because this setup example includes six sources,
some programming will be required to alter the SSD-66 (5.1)'s factory default setup to accom-
modate all six components.
Programming Audio and Video Linking - General Overview
The SSD-66 (5.1) has a 12 character alphanumeric LED display where the Input Labels read
nine character names (variable) and 3 characters for the Input Label number (fixed, 1-14).

Since the hand-held IR remote control that comes with the SSD-66 (5.1) permits direct ac-
cess of the first 8 input labels (1-8) using the numbers 1-8 on the remote control, it is strongly
suggested to use the first eight Input Labels for your sources.
Example - What if a source included in the system is labeled on an Input Label above 8?
If a source you are using, for example Cassette, does not appear in the first eight input names
(Cassette appears in the SSD-66 (5.1) factory default as Input Label 12), you will not be able
to access it directly from the SSD-66 (5.1)'s hand-held remote control. To permit direct
accessing of the Cassette Player, you might want to use Input Label #8, Multiroom. Program
the Cassette Player's audio link for Input Label #8 and then later change the name of the Input
Label from "MULTIROOM" to "CASSETTE". The altering of Input Label names is discussed
in the next section of this manual.
Note - What do you do with 14 Input Labels when the SSD-66 (5.1) has only eight inputs?
While the SSD-66 (5.1) has only eight potential inputs yet also incorporates a total of fourteen
Input Labels, that in no way means that you can connect 14 sources to the SSD-66 (5.1).
What it does permit you to do is have more than one Input Label for one or more of the eight
Inputs (max) that are connected to the SSD-66 (5.1). Since each Input Label has a complete
set of Acoustical Parameters assigned to it, the additional Input Labels can be used to access
the same source with different acoustical characteristics.
Example - What do you do with multiple Input Labels?
A laser disc player will take at least three Input Labels when connected for both AC-3, DTS,
and PCM (standard audio) playback. These three labels will access the same video input but
different audio inputs. Furthermore, when using DTS, a fourth Input Label might be used for
the laser disc player in addition to LASER AC3, LASER PCM, and LASER DTS. This fourth
input label for the laser disc player could be labeled, DTS MUSiC. In such a situation, both
LASER DTS and DTS MUSIC access the same A/V Inputs but are different in that LASER
DTS has the Re-EQ filter on while DTS MUSIC has the Re-EQ filter off.
