If the surround back speakers are not used in the main zone, their surround

The Surround Back amplifier is configurable through the following settings
• Back: Assign as surround back speakers.
• Front (Bi-Amp): Provide a bi-amp mode for the Main Front speakers
(Left and Right) speakers thus reproducing the Front Left and Front
Right amplifier channel outputs.
• Zone 2: Assign the surround back amplifier channels to supply Zone 2
speaker level outputs from the surround back speaker terminals.
• Zone 3: Assign the surround back amplifier channels to supply Zone 3
speaker level outputs from the surround back speaker terminals.
• Zone 4: Assign the surround back amplifier channels to supply Zone 4
speaker level outputs from the surround back speaker terminals.
• Height 1/Height 2: Assign as Height 1 or Height 2 speakers.

TRIGGER SETUP

The T 777 features three configurable +12V DC Trigger Output that can be
used to activate a component or system it is fed into. A Trigger Input is also
available to turn on the applicable link it is associated to.
TRIGGER OUT
Triggers are low voltage signals used to turn on/off other compliant
devices. The T 777's three +12V DC Trigger Outputs (Trigger 1 Out, Trigger 2
Out and Trigger 3 Out) are dependent upon the mode they are associated
with. There are six choices where +12V DC output can be assigned and
these are – Main, Zone 2, Zone 3, Zone 4, Zone 2+3+4 and Source Setup.
Main : +12V DC is available at the assigned Trigger Out when the T 777
is at powered state.
Zone 2, Zone 3, Zone 4, Zone 2, 3 and 4 : When the applicable Zone
is at powered state, +12V DC is available at the assigned Trigger Out.
Source Setup : If Trigger Output is linked to 'Source Setup, ' +12V DC
is available at Trigger Out whenever the particularly assigned Source is
selected. Please see also separate discussion about 'Trigger Out' under
the Source Setup section.

DELAY
The availability of +12V DC at Trigger Out can be regulated. If it is desired
that +12V DC is available without delay the moment Trigger Out is linked
to its assigned setting, set Delay to 0s. Otherwise, one can select through a
delay time of 1s to 15s.
AUTO TRIGGER IN
Auto Trigger IN allows external system controllers to toggle the associated
section of the T 777 from 'Standby' to 'On' and vice versa.
Main : From standby mode, the T 777 is powered ON when +12V DC is
applied at Trigger IN.
Zone 2, Zone 3, Zone 4 : Applicable Zone is turned ON whenever +12V
DC is present at Trigger IN.
All : Main, Zone 2, Zone 3 and Zone 4 as described above will all be
activated given a +12V DC input at Trigger IN.
