Caution

Before making or changing the connections

, switch off

the power and disconnect the power cord from the
power outlet. Plugging in components should be the
last connection you make with your system.

• Be careful not to allow any contact between speaker

wires from different terminals.

• You can use speakers with a nominal impedance

between 6–16

(please see

Switching the speaker

impedance

on page 73 if you plan to use speakers

with an impedance of less than 8

).

Second Zone speaker B setup

After selecting

Second Zone

in

Surround back speaker

setting

on page 40, 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

below for the listening

options with this setup.

Connect a pair of speakers to the surround back

speaker terminals on the rear panel.

sure to review

Hints on speaker placement

on page 21

when placing the speakers in another room.

on page 40 to do this.

Switching the speaker system

If you selected

Second Zone

in

Surround back speaker

setting

on page 40, three speaker system settings are

possible using the

SPEAKERS

button. If you selected

Normal (SB)

or

Front Bi-Amp

, the button will simply

switch your main speaker system on or off. The options
below are for the

Second Zone

setting only.

Use the SPEAKERS button on the front panel to

select a speaker system setting.

As mentioned above, if you have selected

Normal (SB)

,

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).

Note

• The subwoofer output depends on the settings you

made in

Manual speaker setup

on page 45. 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 40 output from the surround back

pre-out terminals may change.

• All speaker systems (except

connections) are switched off when headphones are
connected.
