AMP: HDMI audio signals from playback devices are only output to the speakers
connected to the receiver. Multi-channel sound can be played back as it is.
TV + AMP: The sound is output from the speaker of the TV and the speakers
connected to the receiver.
Note
Audio signals are not output from the speaker of the TV when [Audio Out] is set to [AMP].
When [TV + AMP] is selected, the sound quality of the playback device depends on the sound quality
of the TV, such as the number of channels and the sampling frequency, etc. If the TV has stereo
speakers, the sound output from the receiver is in the same stereo as the TV, even when playing
back multi-channel source.
When you connect the receiver to a video device (projector, etc.), sound may not be output from the
receiver. In this case, select [AMP].

or SPEAKERS HEIGHT 1 (ZONE 2) terminals and the HDMI OUT B (ZONE 2) jack may be
