Amp Assign / Multi-zone Connections and
Operations
The AVR-888 is compatible with the following types of playback:
• Multi-zone playback (ZONE2)
• Bi-amp playback (front speakers)
NOTE
• For bi-amp playback, use speakers compatible with that type of connection.
• When conducting bi-amp playback, remove the short-circuiting boards (or wires) from the speaker
terminals.

Multi-zone Settings with the Amp Assign Function

The amp assign function lets you assign the amplifiers for the different channels built into the AVR-888 to
the speaker outputs for the different zones.
Select the desired playback environment from among "Setting 1" to "Setting 4" , then set the corresponding
"Amp Assign" mode at menu "Manual Setup" – "Option Setup" – "Amp Assign" (vpage 30).
Connect the speakers as described at "Amp Assign" mode settings and speakers connected to the various
speaker terminals.
"Setting 3" is possible to switch the Amp Assign mode between the 5.1-channel mode and 2-channel
mode without changing the speaker connections.
