auxiliary channels Now that the main speakers have been confi gured, we’ll discuss the Auxiliary
Channel confi gurations. On the Speaker setup page, touch the Aux Channels
button to open the Auxiliary Channels menu. e SSP-800 has two auxiliary
channels that can be utilized as additional subwoofers, assigned as a 2-channel
down-mix of a selected multichannel signal, or confi gured to bi-amped left and
right audio.
Alternatively, touch the None option to disable the auxiliary channels and leave
them unused.
Touch the Subs button to confi gure the auxiliary channels as additional
subwoofers. Touch the Mono2 or Mono3 buttons to put two or three mono
subwoofers in your sound system. In this confi guration all subwoofers are
receiving identical signals. Touch the Stereo LR or Stereo LCR buttons to make
the subwoofers stereo Left and Right channels, or stereo Left, Centre, and Right
channels, respectively. Please refer to the table below to determine which rear
panel outputs are associated with a particular channel. To avoid inundating the
room with bass by adding a second subwoofer (or third), this does not simply
double or triple the bass energy in the room. e total bass energy is properly
distributed among the subwoofers defi ned in the system.

Use the Downmix–fi xed or Downmix–variable options to provide a two-
channel down-mix of the selected multichannel signal, which then follows the
Main Front Left and Right speakers. e Downmix–fi xed option sends the
stereo output with a fi xed volume level. e Downmix–variable option sends the
stereo output with a variable volume control that duplicates the main volume
settings. e Downmix option is very useful in situations where you want
to monitor the main zone audio from another room. For instance, if you are
watching the football game and need to leave to make dinner, you can feed the
down-mixed audio to the kitchen and keep up with the game while you cook.
Touch the Bi-Amp button to confi gure the auxiliary channels for a bi-
amplifi cation mode, where a single speaker is driven by a stereo, or two mono,
amplifi ers. In this mode, the two auxiliary channels exactly follow the Front
Left and Right channels. To use the bi-amplifi cation option, the Bi-Amp button
on the Aux Bi-Amp page must be highlighted. is page also provides the level
off set controls. Use the increase and decrease buttons to adjust the off set level.
NOTE: For a Bi-Amp system, the Speaker Level adjustments for
the left and right channels also simultaneously aff ect the Aux Left
and Right, since the Bi-Amp channels now operate in tandem.
