Caution

•Before making or changing the connections, switch off the power and disconnect the power cord from the power outlet. Plugging in components should be the last connection you make with your system.

•Do not allow any contact between speaker wires from different terminals.

•You can use speakers with a nominal impedance between 6 Ω to 16 Ω (please see Switching the speaker impedance on page 63 if you plan to use speakers with an impedance of less than 8 Ω).

2Select ‘Second Zone’ from the ‘Surr Back System’ menu.

See Surround back speaker setting on page 36 to do this.

Switching the speaker system

If you selected Second Zone in Surround back speaker setting on page 36, three speaker system settings are possible using the SPEAKERS button. If you selected Normal (SB) or Front Bi-Amp, the speaker system is fixed as SP A or SP AB (respectively). The options

below are for the Second Zone setting only.1

•Use the SPEAKERS button on the front panel to select a speaker system setting.

Second Zone speaker B setup

After selecting Second Zone in Surround back speaker setting on page 36, you can use the speakers connected to the (surround back) B speaker terminals on the rear panel to listen to stereo playback in another room. See Switching the speaker system below for the listening options with this setup.

1Connect a pair of speakers to the surround back speaker terminals on the rear panel.

Connect them the same way you connected your speakers in Connecting the speakers on page 19. Make sure to review Hints on speaker placement on page 20 when placing the speakers in another room.

Note

1 • The subwoofer output depends on the settings you made in Speaker Setting on page 42. However, if SP B is selected above, no sound is heard from the subwoofer (the LFE channel is not downmixed).

•Depending on the Surround back speaker setting on page 36 output from the surround back pre-out terminals may change.

•All speaker systems (except Second Zone connections) are switched off when headphones are connected.
