Activating the Zone 2 Front Speakers

This section is NOT applicable to those who connect the Zone 2
front speakers through the ZONE 2 PREOUT jacks through

Before you start, remember...
• When shipped from the factory, both pairs of the front speakers
have been set to be used in Zone 1. To use the speakers connected
to the FRONT 2/ZONE 2 SPEAKERS terminals, set the speaker
usage correctly. (See "w Setting the Zone 2/Speakers 2 Usage—
ZONE 2/SPEAKER 2" on page 43.)

CH") in Zone 1.
• While the Zone 2 front speakers are activated, you cannot use the
surround back speakers for the Surround/THX/DSP modes in
Zone 1.
