SPEAKERS

A R FRON

•You can use the additional amplifier on the surround back channel pre-outs for a single speaker as well. In this case plug the amplifier into the left (L (Single)) terminal only.

•The sound from the surround back terminals will depend on how you have configured the Surround back speaker setting on page 36.

•To hear sound only from the pre-outs, switch the speaker system to OFF, or simply disconnect any speakers that are connected directly to the receiver.

•If you’re not using a subwoofer, change the front speaker setting (see Speaker Setting on page 43) to

LARGE.

MULTI-ZONE listening

This receiver can power two independent systems in separate rooms after you have made the proper MULTI-

ZONE connections.1 Different sources can be playing in both zones at the same time or, depending on your needs, the same source can also be used. The main and sub zones have independent power (the main zone power can be off while the sub zone is on) and the sub zone can be controlled by the front panel controls. However, you may need to specify the volume setting in Multi Zone Setup on page 61.
