The  compression  settings    menu  allows  changes  to  be 

made to the compression bit rates and also to the automatic 

compression process when in stand by.

The  compression  level  can  be  altered  to  compress  the 

contents of the harddrive to different quality levels.

The choices are:

Most compressed 

128Kb

Normal  

 

192Kb

High quality 

 

320Kb

If you wish to store the maximum number of songs on the 

hard drive, choose the setting “Most compressed”, however 

the audio quality will be the lowest. Conversely for the least 

amount of songs stored but with the highest audio quality 

choose ‘High quality’.  

The Factory default setting is Normal.  

For  every  day  use  the  normal  setting  will  give  a  good 

compromise between storage and sound quality.

Note: In the process of loading a CD into the SP150, you 

are asked to decide if this CD is to be compressed later. If 

a  disc is required to be stored with ultimate sound quality 

ensure that when asked to “compress later” the no option 

is chosen. This will mean that this CD will be stored as a 

faithful reproduction of the original without any compression 

being applied.

To change compression settings:

1. From the menu Compress level, press OK on the remote 

control (15) to select this menu.

2.  The  LCD  display  will  show  ‘Most  compressed’,  using 

the arrow keys on the remote control (12 and 14) search 

through Most compressed, High quality and normal.

3. When you have decided which compression level you 

require press OK to select.

4. After 30 seconds of inactivity the SP150 will return to the 

previous operating menu position.

The Compress Mode menu allows the automatic 

compression process to be changed to a manual 

operation.

The factory default setting is ‘Compress auto’. This 

means that the SP150 will automatically compress 

un- compressed files when placed in standby power 

mode.

Changing this setting to ‘Compress manual’ will mean that 

the compression process will need to be started manually 

by using the compression on/off menu as described in 

previous chapters.

To change the compression mode:

1.  From  the  menu  Compress  mode,  press  OK  on  the 

remote control (15) to select this menu.

2. The LCD display will show ‘Compress auto’, using the 

arrow keys on the remote control (12 and 14) scroll 

between Compress auto and Compress manual.

3. When you have decided which compression mode you 

require press OK to select.

4. After 30 seconds of inactivity the SP150 will return to the 

previous operating menu position.

6. The SP150 will then prompt you to reboot the system 

    for the new database to take effect. This will require the 

    power to be turned off, and then on again using the 

    power button on the front panel (8).
