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. Th

  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. Th

  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. Th

 e Downmix–fi xed option sends the 

stereo output with a fi xed volume level. Th

  e Downmix–variable option sends the 

stereo output with a variable volume control that duplicates the main volume 
settings. Th

  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. Th

  is page also provides the level 

off set controls. Use the increase and decrease buttons to adjust the off set level.
