Advanced Setup – Part 1
Setting the Power Amplifier Assignment
•AVR-4806CI’s power amplifiers for seven channels (except
the front channel), can be assigned to any channels in the
MAIN ZONE, ZONE2 or ZONE3 and output to the speakers.
In this way, power amplifiers not being used in the MAIN
ZONE can be assigned for multi-zone use, the front
speakers can be connected with a “Bi-Amp”, etc., so you
can create the desired speaker system.
The available power amplifier channels that can be re-
assigned may differ, according to settings previously made
in the “Channel Setup” menu ( page 115).

The Surround B amplifier channels can be re-
assigned if they are not being used in the main
room, and the Surround A amplifier channels are
assigned to either the surround channels or to the
front channels.
•Front B:
This mode sets the Surround B amplifier channels
to drive a second set of stereo outputs that match
the front left and right speakers, providing a Front
B option for stereo sound in another location (
page 111).
•– – –:
No signals are output from the Surround B speaker
terminals.
Surr. A:
The Surround A power amplifier channels can be
assigned if Surround B is not activated in the main
room (MAIN ZONE).
•Front:
This provides a Bi-Amp mode for the two main
front speakers, replicating the front left and front
right amplifier channels’ outputs.
•Front B:
The surround A power amplifier channels can be
used to provide a second set of stereo outputs that
match the front left and right speakers, providing a
Front B option for stereo sound in another location
(page 111).
•ZONE2:
This mode assigns the Surround A amplifier
channels to provide ZONE2 speaker-level outputs
from the Surround A speaker terminals, with the
option of monaural or stereo operation depending
on the “Channel Setup” setting.
•ZONE3:
This mode assigns the Surround A amplifier
channels to provide ZONE3 speaker-level outputs
from the Surround A speaker terminals, with the
option of monaural or stereo operation depending
on the “Channel Setup” setting.
