Switching the speaker terminal

If you selected Speaker B in Speaker system
setting on page 100, you can switch between
speakers using the SPEAKERS button. If you
selected Normal(SB/FH), Normal(SB/FW),
Front Bi-Amp or ZONE 2, the button will
simply switch your main speaker terminal on or
off. The options below are for the Speaker B
1
setting only.
• Use SPEAKERS on the front panel to
select a speaker terminal setting.
As mentioned above, if you have selected
Normal(SB/FH) or Normal(SB/FW), the
button will simply switch your main speaker
terminal (A) on or off.
Press repeatedly to choose a speaker terminal
option:
• SPA – Sound is output from A-speaker
terminal (up to 7 channels (including
surround back channels), depending on
the source).
• SPB – Sound is output from the two
speakers connected to B-speaker terminal.
Multichannel sources will not be heard.
• SPAB – Sound is output from A-speaker
terminal (up to 5 channels, depending on
the source), the two speakers in B-speaker
terminal, and the subwoofer. The sound
from B-speaker terminal will be the same
as the sound from A-speaker terminal
(multichannel sources will be downmixed
to 2 channels).
• SP (off) – No sound is output from the
speakers.
Note
1 • The subwoofer output depends on the settings you made in Manual speaker setup on page 99. However, if SPB is
selected above, no sound is heard from the subwoofer (the LFE channel is not downmixed).
• All speaker systems (except Speaker B connections) are switched off when headphones are connected.
2 If the receiver is in standby, the display is dimmed, and ZONE 2 DVD for example shows in the display.
3 The tuner cannot be tuned to more than one station at a time. Therefore, changing the station in one zone also
changes the station in the other zone. Please be careful not to change stations when recording a radio broadcast.
4 The volume levels of the main and sub zone are independent.

Using the MULTI-ZONE controls

The following steps use the front panel controls
to adjust the sub zone volume and select
sources. See MULTI-ZONE remote controls on
page 73.
1 Press MULTI-ZONE ON/OFF on the front
panel.
Each press selects a MULTI-ZONE option:
• ZONE 2 ON – Switches the MULTI-ZONE
feature on
• MULTI ZONE OFF – Switches the MULTI-
ZONE feature off
The MULTI-ZONE indicator lights when the
MULTI-ZONE control has been switched ON.
2 Press MULTI-ZONE CONTROL on the
front panel.
• When the receiver is on,
any operations for the sub zone are done
while ZONE 2 shows in the display. If this is
not showing, the front panel controls affect
the main zone only.
3 Use the INPUT SELECTOR dial to select
the source for the sub zone.
For example, ZONE 2 CD-R sends the source
connected to the CD-R inputs to the sub room
(ZONE 2).
• If you select TUNER, you can use the tuner
controls to select a preset station (see
Saving station presets on page 48 if you're
unsure how to do this).
4 When Speaker System is set to ZONE 2,
use the MASTER VOLUME dial to adjust the
volume for the sub zone.
