Surround back speaker setting

• Default setting: Normal (SB)
There are several ways you can use the
surround back speaker channels with this
system. In addition to a normal home theater
setup where they are used for the surround
back speakers, they can be used for bi-amping
the front speakers or as a separate speaker
system in another room.
