SSP-600 balanced audio and a sub question

[digitalshah]

The gear: SSP-600, Cambridge Audio 840C player. Can I add a sub to the balanced sub output of the ssp-600 while using the Cambridge audio cd player with the balanced audio inputs of the ssp-600? Thanks

Yes, as long as you did not select the bypass in your setup / input menu.
Make a configuration, select sub and fronts, a setup the config.

Thanks, it worked like a charm!

Thanks for the reply. Would this affect the audio quality of the cd playback, besides adding to the low end?

Its up to you.....

Just listen

Balanced input sound distortion

Blues Eyes, Thanks for your reply. When I change the balanced audio input from "analog bypass" to "dsp enabled" The midrange seems to get a little distorted. The sub comes on but the difference in midrange is somewhat subtle but noticable. Is there something I am missing in the settings?
Thanks again

If you are using the analog inputs and switching to DSP enabled you may have to turn down the offset. If the input voltage is too high the DSP can be overloaded and you will hear distortion. I have a customer with an SSP-600 with a CDP-100 and had the same issue when using the balanced inputs. Once he turned down the offset it sounded great. Not as good as analog bypass, but still pretty good.

Hifiguymi, Offset is greyed out.

Thanks for your reply. How to turn down the offset as it is grayed out? Thanks again.

I replied to your PM and it sounds like you figured it out.

First select the input you want to change and then open the setupmenu and change the setting.
