Global Setup (cont.) - ADA Bus™ Options
Setting the ADA Bus™ Address
The SSD-66 (5.1) has several different addresses available. In most any situation, you will
want the SSD-66 (5.1) to be set to address "000". The SSD-66 (5.1) IR Remote Control only
operates when the SSD-66 (5.1) is set to address "000". To verify the SSD-66 (5.1) Address:
1 Repeatedly press the SETUP MODE button until the display reads "ADA BUS" immedi-
ately followed by "ADA BUS 000".
2 If the address reads anything other than "000" or you wish to alter the ADA Bus™ address,
press either the VOL UP or VOL DN buttons. The SSD-66 (5.1) has 256 addresses from 0-
255.
3 When the correct address appears, press the INPUT SELECT button to exit the program
mode.
Feedback On/Off Setting - Control Speed
The SSD-66 (5.1) two operating speeds, hi-gear and standard-gear. These two speed set-
tings do not refer to how fast the SSD-66 (5.1) processes audio but rather how fast it pro-
cesses commands. The standard factory default will have the SSD-66 (5.1) set to the slower,
normal speed.
The speed factor is actually based on whether the SSD-66 (5.1) provides feedback or whether
the SSD-66 (5.1) is not providing feedback. Since the SSD-66 (5.1) is uniquely equipped to
not only be controlled from advanced two-way control systems such as touch-screen controls
or an ADA System, it can actually provide data output. This data output is in hex-code and
provides full SSD-66 (5.1) status including; input, mode, volume levels, etc. When providing
this data output, the SSD-66 (5.1) will operate slightly slower. This operational rate is consid-
ered a standard operational rate. When the feedback is off, the SSD-66 (5.1) will operate
significantly faster. Please note, when the SSD-66 (5.1) is set with its feedback in the off
position, the SSD-66 (5.1) may respond too quickly.
Note: When do I absolutely need the SSD-66 (5.1)'s feedback in the on position?
If you are using the SSD-66 (5.1) in conjunction with the OSD-1 On-Screen Display Device,
an ADA Bus™ Multi-Room System, or a computer based touch-screen system, you will need
to leave the feedback in the ON position to get status feedback from the SSD-66 (5.1).
Note: When can I turn the SSD-66 (5.1)'s feedback to the off position for high-speed control?
If you are controlling the SSD-66 (5.1) from either its front panel or its hand-held infrared
remote control, you can opt to have the feedback set to the off position.
To alter the SSD-66 (5.1)'s "Feedback" setting:
1 Repeatedly press the SETUP MODE button until the words "FEEDBACK ON" or "FEED-
BACK OFF" appear.
2 Use the VOL UP or VOL DN buttons to change the "Feedback Setting" from off to on or on
to off.
3 Once you have set the SSD-66 (5.1)'s feedback setting, press the INPUT SELECT button
to exit the program mode.
