Yamaha 5990 bi-amp question

A while ago I enabled bi-amp mode on my 5990 and have been running my mains in this fashion. However, I've never been totally sure about what, specifically, is done to the 2nd amp in terms of power/frequency/bass mgmt, etc.. The manual is very lacking in this area.
BTW, it made an immediate and dramatic improvement for my Polk Monitor 70's (which are being replaced by RTi8s)
I sent this to Yamaha, too, but don't really expect an answer, so I'm posting it here in the hopes that someone can clarify the situation for me.
When this mode(bi-amp) is enabled, is the output from the 2nd amp (the assignable one) identical to the output from the standard main amp? If not, in what way is it different? Does it have the same power? Is the same logic applied to it regarding LFE/Bass management? Same crossover frequency?
Thank you.
