SPEAKERS B Setup
Stereo playback in another room (SECOND ZONE)
This setup enables you to listen to a pair of stereo speakers independently of the main speaker system (A speakers)
hooked up to the receiver. You can choose SECOND ZONE, and use the speakers hooked up to the surround back
terminals as a B speaker system, that is, playing the same source as the main speaker system but from
independent stereo speakers.
1 Connect a pair of speakers to the surround back speaker terminals.
2 Select SECOND ZONE in the SURRBACK SYSTEM setup (see page 39).
Memo:
Please use speakers with a nominal impedance rated 8
Bi-amping the front speakers (FRONT BI-AMP)
For bi-amp playback you can connect both the A and B speaker terminals to your front speakers. To do this your
speakers must be bi-wireable (that is they must have separate terminals for the high and low frequencies).
Bi-amping delivers more power to the front speakers, but disables the surround back speakers, so you will be
limited to 5.1 channel playback.
Caution!
Do not allow any speaker wire from any
terminal to touch a wire from a different
terminal.

FRONT Speaker
rear side
1 Connect your speakers as shown.
Since both Front A and B speaker terminals output the
same audio, it doesn't matter which set (A or B) is
powering which part (HI or LOW) of the speaker.
2 Select FRONT BI-AMP in the
SURRBACK SYSTEM setup
(see page 39).
The surround back channel amplifier is now used to
power the B set of speaker terminals and the A+B
(SPAB) speaker setting is automatically selected. The
speaker setting in this case can only be A+B or OFF.
Using Other Functions
Caution!
Most speakers with both
HI and LOW terminals
have two metal plates
that connect the HI to
the LOW terminals.
These must be removed
when you are bi-amping
the speakers or you
could severely damage
the amplifier. See your
speaker manual for
more information.
