Notes:

When Act is selected and Zone 2 turned on, the Zone 2 speakers connected to the ZONE 2 L/R speaker termi- nals output sound, but the surround back speakers con- nected to the SURR BACK L/R speaker terminals do not. When Act is selected and Zone 2 turned off, the surround back speakers output sound as normal.

Powered Zone 2 cannot be used if Speaker Type Front A is set to Bi-Amp or BTL, or Speaker Type Front B is set to Normal, Bi-Amp, or BTL (page 51).

This procedure can also be performed on the AV receiver by using its [SETUP], [ENTER], and arrow

buttons.
