About Speakers A and Speakers B

Installing Speakers A and Speakers B allows you to enjoy up to 7.2-channel surround-sound playback from each speaker configuration. Each configuration has its own pair of stereo front speakers and can use the same subwoofer, center, sur- round, and surround back speakers, as required. You could, for example, use Speakers A when watching a DVD movie with 7.2-channels surround sound and use Speakers B for serious music listening with a pair of stereo speakers (2-chan- nels).

The speakers are configured by using the “Speaker Setup” (50).

Front speakers A and front speakers B can be wired normally, bi-amped, or bridged, but A and B cannot be bi-amped or bridged at the same time. For example, if front speakers A are bridged, front speakers B can only be wired normally. Sim- ilarly, if front speakers B are bi-amped, front speakers A can only be wired normally. When bridging or bi-amping is used, the AV receiver can drive up to 5.2 speakers in the main room (16 to 19).

The Speakers A and Speakers B configurations are selected by using SP LAYOUT on the remote controller. Only one configuration can be selected at a time.

The versatility offered by the Speakers A and Speakers B configurations means you can configure the AV receiver to suit your exact requirements and application. Two typical applications are shown below.

Speakers A: 7.2-channel playback

Speakers B: Stereo playback

In this example, Speakers A provides 7.2-channel sur- round sound for enjoying DVD movies, while Speakers B is used for serious music listening with a pair of top- quality stereo speakers.

Speakers B

Speakers A: 5.2-channel playback

Speakers B: 2.1-channel playback with bridged front speakers

In this example, Speakers A provides 5.2-channel sur- round sound for enjoying DVD movies, while Speakers B is bridged for use with a pair of high-power stereo speakers, the subwoofer is used with Speakers A and Speakers B.
