Amp Assign / Multi-zone Connections and
Operations
The AVR-988 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-988 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.
