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
Ω
(please see
Switching the speaker
impedance
on page 68 if you plan to use speakers
with an impedance of less than 8
Ω
).

Switching the speaker system
If you selected
Second Zone
in
Surround back speaker
setting
on page 55, three speaker system settings are
possible using the
SPEAKERS
button. If you selected
Normal Surround
, 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
Surround
, the button will simply switch your main
speaker system (A) on or off.
Press repeatedly to choose a speaker system option:
•

– Sound is output from speaker system A and
the same signal is output from the pre-out terminals.

connected to speaker system B. Multichannel
sources will not be heard.

to 5 channels, depending on the source), the two
speakers in speaker system B. 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 as
when selecting speaker system A (above).

made in

on page 55.
However, if

heard from the subwoofer (the LFE channel is not
downmixed).
