Speaker Setup
Note:
The SURR BACK/ZONE 2 PRE OUT and SURR BACK/ZONE
2 SPEAKER terminals
In order to have 7.1-channel playback in the main room, you must set
the Powered Zone 2 setting to "Not Activated." When set to "Not
Activated," the surround back signals are output from the SURR
BACK/ZONE 2 PRE OUT and SURR BACK/ZONE 2 SPEAKER
terminals. Connect the surround back speakers to the SURR BACK/
ZONE 2 SPEAKER terminals or to the speakers terminals of the
power amplifier connected to the SURR BACK/ZONE 2 PRE OUT
terminals.
When you are not using the surround back speakers in the main room
and using the internal amplifier to power the speakers for the remote
zone (Zone 2), set the Powered Zone 2 setting to "Activated." When
set to "Activated," the Zone 2 signals are output from the SURR
BACK/ZONE 2 PRE OUT and SURR BACK/ZONE 2 SPEAKER
terminals. Connect the remote zone (Zone 2) speakers to the SURR
BACK/ZONE 2 SPEAKER terminals or to the speakers terminals of
the power amplifier connected to the SURR BACK/ZONE 2 PRE
OUT terminals.

1-2. Speaker Distance sub-menu

Here you will enter the distance from each speaker to your normal
listening position. This is important for the timing of the acoustics to
create the proper sound space that the TX-DS898 and today's sound
systems are able to produce.
Notes:
• Speakers that you selected "No" or "None" for in the Speaker
Config sub-menu will not appear.
• The difference between the distances of different speakers
cannot be set to more than 20 feet.
