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-989 to the speaker outputs for the different zones.

Select the desired playback environment from among “Setting 1” to “Setting 3”, then set the corresponding “Amp Assign” mode at menu “Manual Setup” – “Option Setup” – “Amp Assign” (vpage 32). Connect the speakers as described at “Amp Assign mode setting and speakers connected to the various speaker terminals”.
