About Speakers A and Speakers B
Installing Speakers A and Speakers B allows you to enjoy
up to 7.2-channel surround-sound playback from each
speaker configuration. Each configuration has its own pair
of stereo front speakers and can use the same subwoofer,
center, surround, front high, and surround back speakers,
as required. You could, for example, use Speakers A when
watching a DVD movie with 7.2-channels surround sound
and use Speakers B for serious music listening with a pair
of stereo speakers (2-channels).
Speakers A and Speakers B can be connected normally, bi-
amped, or connected to speakers without crossover
network, but cannot be bi-amped and connected to
speakers without crossover network at the same time. For
example, if Speakers B are bi-amped, Speakers A can only
be wired normally.

The versatility offered by the Speakers A and Speakers B
configurations means you can configure the AV receiver to
suit your exact requirements and application. Two typical
applications are shown below.
Note
• You cannot set speaker impedance individually for Speakers A
and Speakers B.

of top-quality stereo speakers.
