Press repeatedly to choose a speaker system option:

SPA – Sound is output from speaker system A and the same signal is output from the pre-out terminals.

SPB – Sound is output from the two speakers connected to speaker system B. Multichannel sources will not be heard. The same signal is output from the surround back channel pre-out terminals.

SPAB – Sound is output from speaker system A (up to 5 channels, depending on the source), the two speakers in speaker system B, and the subwoofer. The sound from speaker system B will be the same as the sound from speaker system A (multichannel sources will be downmixed to 2 channels).

SP(off) – No sound is output from the speakers. The same sound is output from the pre-out terminals (including from your subwoofer, if connected) as when selecting speaker system A (above).

2Select ‘Speaker B’ from the Surr Back System menu.

See Surround back speaker setting on page 56 to do this.

Bi-amping your speakers

Bi-amping is when you connect the high frequency driver and low frequency driver of your speakers to different amplifiers for better crossover performance. Your speakers must be bi-ampable to do this (having separate terminals for high and low) and the sound improvement will depend on the kind of speakers you’re using.

Note

1• The subwoofer output depends on the settings you made in Manual speaker setup on page 55. However, if SPB is selected above, no sound is heard from the subwoofer (the LFE channel is not downmixed).

Depending on the settings in Surround back speaker setting on page 56 output from the surround back pre-out terminals may change.

All speaker systems (except Speaker B connections) are switched off when headphones are connected.
