•When applying one of these configurations, you need to configure the “Power Amp Assign” setting (p.114) in the “Setup” menu.

•When applying a multi-zone configuration, you can select a zone (Zone2 or Zone3) to be assigned to the EXTRA SP 1–2 jacks in “Power Amp Assign” (p.114) in the “Setup” menu. By default, Zone2 is assigned to the EXTRA SP 1 jacks and Zone3 is assigned to the EXTRA SP 2 jacks. The following explanation is based on the assumption that you have not changed the default zone assignments.
