Selecting the speaker
system
This receiver allows you to switch between 3
different surround speaker configurations (A, B,
and A+B). There are two sets of surround
speaker terminals (A and B). The SPEAKERS
SURROUND A terminals are for standard
operation with up to 7.1 channels. Use the
SPEAKERS SURROUND B terminals to
connect additional surround speakers for use in
either a separate 5.1 channel system
(independent from the 7.1 channel system), or as
additional speakers to make the 7.1 channel
system into a 9.1 channel system.
Using only the speakers connected to
the SPEAKERS SURROUND A terminals
This is a standard speaker system for use with
movies and Super Audio CDs.
Using the speakers connected to the
SPEAKERS SURROUND B terminals
You can create two separate surround systems, a
7.1 channel system for movies and a 5.1 channel
system for Super Audio CDs. In this case,
connect the surround speakers for movies to the
SPEAKERS SURROUND A terminals and
connect the surround speakers for music to the
SPEAKERS SURROUND B terminals. This is
useful if you mainly listen to Super Audio CDs,
but also want to enjoy a theater-like sound stage
for movies.
