Amp Assign / Multi-Zone Connections and
Operations
The AVC-A1HD is compatible with the following types of playback:
• Multi-zone playback (ZONE2 & ZONE3)
• Bi-amp playback (front speaker)
• Bi-wiring playback (front speaker)
NOTE
• For bi-amp and bi-wiring playback, use speakers compatible with that type of connection.
• When conducting bi-amp or bi-wiring 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 AVC-A1HD
to the speaker outputs for the different zones.
Select the desired playback environment from among "Setting 1" to "Setting 8" , then set the corresponding
"Amp Assign" mode at GUI menu "Manual Setup" – "Option Setup" – "Amp Assign" (vpage 38).
Connect the speakers as described at "Speaker connections" .
With "Setting 5" to "Setting 7" , it is possible to switch the Amp Assign mode between the 7 .1 / 9.1-channel
mode and the multi-zone mode without changing the speaker connections.
