Switching the speaker system

If you selected Speaker B in Surround back speaker
setting
on page 85, three speaker system settings are
possible using SPEAKERS. If you selected Normal, Front
Bi-Amp
or ZONE 2, 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).

Using the MULTI-ZONE controls

The following steps use the front panel controls to adjust
the sub zone volume and select sources. See MULTI-
ZONE remote controls
on page 64.

1

Press MULTI-ZONE ON/OFF on the front panel.

Each press selects a MULTI-ZONE option:

ZONE 2 ON – Selects your primary (ZONE 2) sub

zone

ZONE 2&3 ON – Select both sub zones

ZONE 3 ON – Selects your secondary (ZONE 3) sub

zone

MULTI ZONE OFF – Switches the MULTI-ZONE

feature off

The MULTI-ZONE indicator lights when the MULTI-ZONE
control has been switched ON.

2

Press MULTI-ZONE CONTROL on the front panel to

select the sub zone(s) you want.
If you selected ZONE 2&3 ON above, you can toggle
between ZONE 2 and ZONE 3.

• When the receiver is on,

2

make sure that any

operations for the sub zone are done while ZONE and
your selected sub zone(s) show in the display. If this
is not showing, the front panel controls affect the
main zone only.

3

Use the INPUT SELECTOR dial to select the source

for the zone you have selected.
For example, ZONE 2 CD-R sends the source connected
to the CD-R inputs to the primary (ZONE 2) sub room.

• If you select TUNER, you can use the tuner controls

to select a preset station (see Saving station presets
on page 48 if you’re unsure how to do this).

3

Note

1 • The subwoofer output depends on the settings you made in Manual speaker setup on page 84. However, if SP

B is selected above, no sound

is heard from the subwoofer (the LFE channel is not downmixed).
• Depending on the settings in Surround back speaker setting on page 85 output from the surround back pre-out terminals may change.
• All speaker systems (except Speaker B connections) are switched off when headphones are connected.

zone. Please be careful not to change stations when recording a radio broadcast.
