The settings within the Hardware Setup Menu will need to be made before you use your TX-SR800 for the first time. Once you have selected one of the Hardware Setup menu items, the setting will not be displayed again when you enter the Basic Menu. To change the setting at a later date, select the Advanced Menu to display the Hardware Setup Menu.

0-1. Speaker Impedance Sub-menu

Use this sub-menu to set the impedance level of the TX-SR800 to match the specifications of the speakers you are using.

If the impedances of all speakers are between 6 and 16 Ω, select “6 ohms.” If the impedance of even one speaker is between 4 and 6 Ω, select “4 ohms.”

Note:

Before you change this setting, be sure to first lower the volume at the TX-SR800 to the minimum level.

Zone 2: Select when connecting the speakers for the remote zone (Zone 2) to the SURR BACK/ZONE 2 PRE OUT or SURR BACK/ZONE 2 SPEAKERS terminals (for using the internal amplifier for Zone 2).

Surr Back: Select when connecting the speakers for the Surround back to the SURR BACK/ZONE 2 PRE OUT or SURR BACK/ZONE 2 SPEAKERS terminals (for using the internal amplifier for the surround back speakers).

Note:

The SURR BACK/ZONE 2 PRE OUT and SURR BACK/ZONE 2 SPEAKER terminals

In order to have 7.1-channel playback in the main room, you must set the Surr Back/Zone 2 setting to “Surr Back.” When set to “Surr Back,” the surround back signals are output from the SURR BACK/ ZONE 2 PRE OUT and SURR BACK/ZONE 2 SPEAKER terminals. Connect the surround back speakers to the SURR BACK/ ZONE 2 SPEAKER terminals or to the speakers terminals of the power amplifier connected to the SURR BACK/ZONE 2 PRE OUT terminals.

When you are not using the surround back speakers in the main room and using the internal amplifier to power the speakers for the remote zone (Zone 2), set the Surr Back/Zone 2 setting to “Zone 2.” When set to “Zone 2,” the Zone 2 signals are output from the SURR BACK/ZONE 2 PRE OUT and SURR BACK/ZONE 2 SPEAKER terminals. Connect the remote zone (Zone 2) speakers to the SURR BACK/ZONE 2 SPEAKER terminals or to the speakers terminals of the power amplifier connected to the SURR BACK/ZONE 2 PRE OUT terminals.

At this time, the main room is switched to 5.1 channel playback mode, and therefore you cannot select the THX Surround EX or DTS-ES, which requires the sound back.
