Now that the main speakers have been configured, we’ll discuss the Auxiliary Channel configurations. On the Speaker setup page, touch the Aux Channels button to open the Auxiliary Channels menu. The 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 configured 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 configure 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 configuration 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. The total bass energy is properly distributed among the subwoofers defined in the system.

Use the Downmix–fixedor Downmix–variableoptions to provide a two- channel down-mix of the selected multichannel signal, which then follows the Main Front Left and Right speakers. The Downmix–fixed option sends the stereo output with a fixed volume level. The Downmix–variable option sends the stereo output with a variable volume control that duplicates the main volume settings. The 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-Ampbutton to configure the auxiliary channels for a bi- amplification mode, where a single speaker is driven by a stereo, or two mono, amplifiers. In this mode, the two auxiliary channels exactly follow the Front Left and Right channels. To use the bi-amplification option, the Bi-Amp button on the Aux Bi-Amp page must be highlighted. This page also provides the level offset controls. Use the increase and decrease buttons to adjust the offset level.

NOTE: For a Bi-Amp system, the Speaker Level adjustments for the left and right channels also simultaneously affect the Aux Left and Right, since the Bi-Amp channels now operate in tandem.
