Connecting 7.1-channel speakers using surround back speakers
The illustration on the right shows a connection example for performing 7.1-channel playback using the
surround back speakers.
If you connect the surround back and front height speakers before you start playback, the audio is played
back by automatically switching the speakers in accordance with the sound mode or input signals.
To perform 7.1-channel playback using the surround back speakers, set "Assign Mode" to "Surround
Back" in steps 3 to 5 for "Set up "Amp Assign"" (vpage 85).
