About Speakers A and Speakers B

Installing Speakers A and Speakers B allows you to enjoy up to 7.2-channel surround-sound playback from each speaker configuration. Each configuration has its own pair of stereo front speakers and can use the same subwoofer, center, surround, front high, and surround back speakers, as required. You could, for example, use Speakers A when watching a DVD movie with 7.2-channels surround sound and use Speakers B for serious music listening with a pair of stereo speakers (2-channels).

Speakers A and Speakers B can be wired normally or bi-amped, but cannot be bi-amped at the same time. For example, if Speakers B are bi-amped, Speakers A can only be wired normally.
