About the FRONT 2/ZONE 2 SPEAKERS terminals

The FRONT 2/ZONE 2 SPEAKERS terminals can be used as follows:

•To connect the second pair of the front speakers in Zone 1.

•To connect the front speakers in Zone 2 when using the multi- room operations (see page 19).

•To connect the front speakers in Zone 1 and to drive them using two amplifiers built in this receiver.

If the speakers connected are of the bi-wiring connection type, you can connect the speakers as illustrated below. (You can use either front speaker terminals for high frequency or for low frequency terminals.)
