•You can use the additional amplifier on the surround back channel
•The sound from the surround back terminals will depend on how you have configured the Surround back speaker setting on page 35.
•To hear sound only from the
•If you’re not using a subwoofer, change the front speaker setting (see Speaker Setting on page 42) to large.
Different sources can be playing in three rooms at the same time or, depending on your needs, the same source can also be used. The main and sub rooms have independent power (the main room power can be off while one (or both) of the sub rooms is on) and the sub rooms can be controlled by the remote or front panel controls. However, you may need to specify the volume settings in
Making multi-room connections
It is possible to make these connections if you have a separate TV and speakers for your primary (ROOM 2) sub
room, and a separate amplifier1 (and speakers) for your secondary (ROOM 3) sub room. You will also need a separate amplifier if you are not using the Surround Back System setup (see below) for your primary sub room. There are two primary sub room setups possible with this system. Choose whichever works best for you.
Note
1You can't use sound controls (such as the tone controls or Midnight listening) or any surround modes with a separate amplifier in the sub room. You can, however, use the features available with your sub room amplifier.
