• Depending on the DVD player you’re using, the
analog output level of the subwoofer channel may be
too low. In this case, the output level of the subwoofer

Setup on page 94.
Speaker B setup
Caution
• Be careful not to allow any contact between speaker
wires from different terminals.
• You can use speakers with a nominal impedance
between 6
Ω to 16 Ω.
After selecting Speaker B in Surround back speaker
setting on page 56, you can use the speakers connected
to the (surround back) B speaker terminals on the rear
panel to listen to stereo playback in another room. See
Switching the speaker system below for the listening
options with this setup.
1 Connect a pair of speakers to the surround back
speaker terminals on the rear panel.
Connect them the same way you connected your
speakers in
Installing your speaker system on page 26.
Make sure to review Placing the speakers on page 27
when placing the speakers in another room.
2 Select ‘Speaker B’ from the Surr Back System
menu.
See
Surround back speaker setting on page 56 to do this.
Switching the speaker system
If you selected Speaker B in Surround back speaker
setting on page 56, three speaker system settings are
possible using
SPEAKERS. If you selected Normal or
Front Bi-Amp, the button will simply switch your main
speaker system on or off. The options below are for the
Speaker B setting only. 1
• Use SPEAKERS on the front panel to select a
speaker system setting.
As mentioned above, if you have selected
Normal, the
button will simply switch your main speaker system (A)
on or off.
Press repeatedly to choose a speaker system option:
• SP A – Sound is output from speaker system A and
the same signal is output from the pre-out terminals.
• SP B – Sound is output from the two speakers
connected to speaker system B. Multichannel
sources will not be heard. The same signal is output
from the surround back channel pre-out terminals.
• SP AB – Sound is output from speaker system A (up
to 5 channels, depending on the source), the two
speakers in speaker system B, and the subwoofer.
The sound from speaker system B will be the same as
the sound from speaker system A (multichannel
sources will be downmixed to 2 channels).
• SP  (off) – No sound is output from the speakers. The
same sound is output from the pre-out terminals
(including from your subwoofer, if connected) as
when selecting speaker system A (above).
Bi-amping your speakers
Bi-amping is when you connect the high frequency driver
and low frequency driver of your speakers to different
amplifiers for better crossover performance. Your
speakers must be bi-ampable to do this (having separate
terminals for high and low) and the sound improvement
will depend on the kind of speakers you’re using.
