SPEAKERS B Setup

Stereo playback in another room (SECOND ZONE)

This setup enables you to listen to a pair of stereo speakers independently of the main speaker system (A speakers) hooked up to the receiver. You can choose SECOND ZONE, and use the speakers hooked up to the surround back terminals as a B speaker system, that is, playing the same source as the main speaker system but from independent stereo speakers.

1Connect a pair of speakers to the surround back speaker terminals.

2Select SECOND ZONE in the SURRBACK SYSTEM setup (see page 39).

Memo:

Please use speakers with a nominal impedance rated 8 Ω - 16 Ω .

Bi-amping the front speakers (FRONT BI-AMP)

For bi-amp playback you can connect both the A and B speaker terminals to your front speakers. To do this your speakers must be bi-wireable (that is they must have separate terminals for the high and low frequencies). Bi-amping delivers more power to the front speakers, but disables the surround back speakers, so you will be limited to 5.1 channel playback.

The surround back channel amplifier is now used to power the B set of speaker terminals and the A+B (SPAB) speaker setting is automatically selected. The speaker setting in this case can only be A+B or OFF.
