Multi-Zone Settings with the Amp Assign Function

The amp assign function lets you assign the amplifiers for the different channels built into the AVR-3808CI to the speaker outputs for the different zones.

Select the desired playback environment from among “Setting 1” to “Setting 4”, then set the corresponding “Amp Assign” mode at GUI menu “Manual Setup” – “Option Setup” – “Amp Assign” (vpage 33). Connect the speakers as described at “Amp Assign mode settings and speakers connected to the various speaker terminals”.

“Setting 3” is possible to switch the Amp Assign mode between the 5.1-channel mode and 2-channel mode without changing the speaker connections.

•“STEREO” or “MONO” depends on the setting at GUI menu “Manual Setup” – “Zone Setup” – “Channel” (vpage 33).

•Both A and B can be installed for SR and SL.
