Specifications
The AVR-2809CI is compatible with the following
types of playback:
• Multi-zone playback (ZONE2 & ZONE3)
• Bi-amp playback (front speakers)
NOTE
• For bi-amp playback, use speakers compatible
with that type of connection.
• When conducting bi-amp playback, remove the
short-circuiting boards (or wires) from the speaker
terminals.
Multi-zone Settings with the Amp Assign Function
The amp assign function lets you assign the amplifiers for the different channels built into the AVR-2809CI
to the speaker outputs for the different zones.
Select the desired playback environment from among “Setting 1” to “Setting 3”, then set the corresponding
“Amp Assign” mode at menu “Manual Setup” – “Option Setup” – “Amp Assign” (vpage 32).
Connect the speakers as described at “Amp Assign mode setting and speakers connected to the various
speaker terminals”.
