Setting Up for Surround Sound

SURRBACK SYSTEM (Surround Back System)

This setup selects how your surround back system will be used. If you want to use it for surround back speakers in your main speaker system choose NORMAL SYSTEM. In this case you won’t have any B (or secondary) speaker system as these speakers fill that role also for the VSX-D2011. If you want to use your surround back speakers in a different room choose SECOND ZONE. Alternatively, you can choose the FRONT BI-AMP setting, in order to deliver more power to the front speakers. If starting fresh, complete steps 1-3 in page 36.
