•The Intelligent Power AMP Assign feature of this unit becomes in effect in the following cases so that the surround and surround back amplifiers of this unit are automatically assigned to the main room for the use of the surround back speakers connected to the SURROUND BACK speaker terminals in the 7.1-channel system.

–When ZONE2 AMP and ZONE3 AMP are set to PRNS and EXT respectively and Zone 2 is turned off

•If either ZONE2 AMP or ZONE3 AMP is set to SUR or PRNS, the speaker system of the main room is limited to 3.1 or 2.1-channel playback no matter when Zone 2 or Zone 3 is turned off because the SURROUND/ZONE 2(3) speaker terminals are used for the zone connection.
