Switching the speaker system

If you selected Speaker B in Surround back
speaker setting on page 93, three speaker
system settings are possible using SPEAKERS.
If you selected Normal, Front Bi-Amp or
ZONE 2, the button will simply switch your
main speaker system on or off. The options
below are for the Speaker B setting only.
• Use SPEAKERS on the front panel to
select a speaker system setting.
As mentioned above, if you have selected
Normal, the button will simply switch your
main speaker system (A) on or off.
Press repeatedly to choose a speaker system
option:
• SPA – Sound is output from speaker
system A.
• SPB – Sound is output from the two
speakers connected to speaker system B.
Multichannel sources will not be heard.
• SPAB – Sound is output from speaker
system A (up to 5 channels, depending on
the source), the two speakers in speaker
system B, and the subwoofer. The sound
from speaker system B will be the same as
the sound from speaker system A
(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 93. 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.

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).

controls to select a preset station (see
Saving station presets on page 51 if you're
unsure how to do this).
