A(SP3A):

1Use the SPEAKER A/B button on the remote control's SUB screen (or SP SYSTEM A/B on the front panel) to cycle through the different speaker

systems.

The button cycles through the speaker systems as follows: A]B]A&B]off.

In what way the sound will be output depends on the selections you made in "SPEAKER SYSTEMS" (p.38) and you choices here. See the explanations for a guide to how the sound will be output when you have chosen NORMAL SURROUND (see p.38- 39).

Sound is output from speaker system A and the same signal is output from the pre out terminals. (Subwoofer output depends on the settings in SPEAKER SYSTEMS and the source type.)

B(SP3B):	Sound is output from the two speakers in speaker
	system B. Multichannel sources will be downmixed to
	these two speakers and the same signal is output from
	the FRONT pre outs.
A&B(SP3AB):	Sound is output from speaker system A's FRONT
	speakers and the B speakers. The main channels will
	be downmixed to the FRONT speakers. (Subwoofer
	output depends on the settings in SPEAKER SYSTEMS
	and the source type.) If you have set the FRONT
	speakers to "SMALL" the low frequencies of all the
	channels are output from the subwoofer. The same
	sound is output from the B speakers and the FRONT
	pre out terminals.
OFF(SP3 ):	No sound is output from the speakers. Depending on
	the input signal and settings in "SPEAKER SYSTEMS"
	sound may be output from the subwoofer. The same
	sound is output from the pre out terminals as when
	selecting speaker system A (above).

	memo	• Depending on the settings in "SPEAKER SYSTEMS" and the MULTI CH IN SELECT, output from the
	memo	surround back pre out terminals may change.
		surround back pre out terminals may change.

•When using headphones the speakers are switched off.

•Please use speakers with a nominal impedance rated 6Ω -16Ω .
