Using the USB interface
It is possible to listen to two channels of audio from your

audio source through the speaker setup you’ve

USB terminal on the rear panel of this receiver.

the USB driver installation to finish.
The installation may take a minute or two to complete.
Make sure you leave the USB cable connected until the
