SURROUND SOUND PROCESSOR (SSP) SETUP
(Applies only to the N
0
5805)
The SSP (Surround Sound Processor) mode allows the N
0
5805
to be seamlessly integrated into a multichannel home cinema
system. Any analog input may be designated as the surround
sound processor input by turning this mode ON. When the SSP
mode is activated the N
0
5805’s volume control is deactivated
and the level is fixed at unity gain. This allows the Surround
Sound Processor to control the volume of the Left and Right
speakers powered by the N
0
5805 in unison with the rest of the
system. Room correction EQ and level calibrations performed in
this mode and stored in the surround sound processor will be
maintained unaltered.
CAUTION: Prior to entering SSP mode make sure the volume of
your surround sound processor is all the way down. Gradually
increase volume as desired and perform calibration.
To start, enter the Setup mode and navigate to the analog input
you plan to use for SSP and select On. Connect the N
0
5805 with
a surround-sound processor (see illustration on next page).
1. Make sure the N
0
5805 and all associated components are
powered off and disconnected from electrical outlets.
2. Connect the output connectors on the surround-sound
source component to the input connectors on the
surround-sound processor. For example, if the source
component is a Blu-ray disc player, connect it to the
appropriate input connectors on the surround sound
processor.
3. Connect the front left and right output connectors on the
processor to the desired analog input connectors on the
N
0
5805. For best performance, use balanced connections
whenever possible. NOTE: we recommend renaming the
input you select for SSP operation to a name like “Theater”
or “Movies.”
4. Connect the center, surround, and subwoofer output
connectors on the processor to the appropriate input
connectors on the designated power amplifier(s).
5. Connect the N
0
5805’s speaker outputs to the system’s
front left and right (primary) speakers.
6. Perform a system calibration as per the surround
processor’s instructions.
7. Select the designated Analog input whenever you wish to
listen to multichannel source material.
