Amp Assign / Multi-zone Connections and Operations

The AVR-1709 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-1709 to
the speaker outputs for the different zones.
Select the desired playback environment from among "Setting 1" to "Setting 3", then set the corresponding
"Amp Assign" mode at "System Setup" – "Option Setup" – "Amp Assign" (vpage 28).
Connect the speakers as described at "Speaker connections and channels outputting to the various
speaker terminals".
