A(SP3A):

1Use the SPEAKER A/B button on the remote control's SUB screen (or SP SYSTEM A/B on the front panel) to cycle through the different speaker

systems.

The button cycles through the speaker systems as follows: A]B]A&B]off.

In what way the sound will be output depends on the selections you made in "SPEAKER SYSTEMS" (p.38) and you choices here. See the explanations for a guide to how the sound will be output when you have chosen NORMAL SURROUND (see p.38- 39).

Sound is output from speaker system A and the same signal is output from the pre out terminals. (Subwoofer output depends on the settings in SPEAKER SYSTEMS and the source type.)

B(SP3B):

Sound is output from the two speakers in speaker

 

system B. Multichannel sources will be downmixed to

 

these two speakers and the same signal is output from

 

the FRONT pre outs.

A&B(SP3AB):

Sound is output from speaker system A's FRONT

 

speakers and the B speakers. The main channels will

 

be downmixed to the FRONT speakers. (Subwoofer

 

output depends on the settings in SPEAKER SYSTEMS

 

and the source type.) If you have set the FRONT

 

speakers to "SMALL" the low frequencies of all the

 

channels are output from the subwoofer. The same

 

sound is output from the B speakers and the FRONT

 

pre out terminals.

OFF(SP3 ):

No sound is output from the speakers. Depending on

 

the input signal and settings in "SPEAKER SYSTEMS"

 

sound may be output from the subwoofer. The same

 

sound is output from the pre out terminals as when

 

selecting speaker system A (above).

memo

• Depending on the settings in "SPEAKER SYSTEMS" and the MULTI CH IN SELECT, output from the

surround back pre out terminals may change.

 

When using headphones the speakers are switched off.

Please use speakers with a nominal impedance rated 6-16.
