Caution
•Before making or changing the connections, switch off the power and disconnect the power cord from the power outlet. Plugging in components should be the last connection you make with your system.
•Be careful not to allow any contact between speaker wires from different terminals.
•You can use speakers with a nominal impedance between 6 Ω to 16 Ω (please see Switching the
speaker impedance on page 72 if you plan to use speakers with an impedance of less than 8 Ω).
After selecting Speaker B in Surround back speaker setting on page 41, you can use the speakers connected to the (surround back) B speaker terminals on the rear panel to listen to stereo playback in another room. See Switching the speaker system below for the listening options with this setup.

See Surround back speaker setting on page 41 to do this.
