be used as part of your A speakers (main speaker system) and this button will simply switch it off or on. If you
selected SECOND ZONE in the SURRBACK SYSTEM setup (see page 39) this button will cycle through the A (main)
speaker system, the B speaker system (the surround back speakers acting as a separate second zone), both
speaker systems, and off.

front panel) to switch speakers on/
off or cycle through the different
speaker systems if SECOND ZONE or
FRONT BI-AMP has been selected in
the SURRBACK SYSTEM setup (see
page 39).
