EXTRA SP ASSIGN

Selects the function of the speakers connected to the 
EXTRA SP terminals.
Choices: FRONT B, ZONE2, PRESENCE, NONE

When you use the alternative front speaker 
system (see page 38)
Select “FRONT B”.

Select “ZONE2” to set the function of the speakers to 
the Zone 2 speakers.

Select “PRESENCE” to set the function of the 
speakers to the presence speakers.

Select “NONE” to deactivate the EXTRA SP 
terminals.

• This parameter shares the value with the “EXTRA SP 

ASSIGN” parameter in “AUTO SETUP”.

• If you select “ON” in “BI-AMP” (see page 95), you cannot 

select “PRESENCE” or “ZONE2” in “EXTRA SP ASSIGN”.

• After changing the “EXTRA SP ASSIGN” setting, carry out 

“AUTO SETUP” again (See page 28).

  FRONT B

The “FRONT B” parameter is available only when you set 
“EXTRA SP ASSIGN” to “FRONT B”.
Use this feature to select the location of the FRONT B 
speakers.
Choices: FRONT, ZONE B
• Select “FRONT” to turn FRONT A and B on or off 

when the FRONT B speakers are set in the main room.

• Select “ZONE B” if the FRONT B speakers are set in 

another room. If FRONT A is turned off and FRONT B 
is turned on, all the speakers including the subwoofer 
in the main room are muted and this unit outputs sound 
at the FRONT B terminals only.

• If you connect headphones to the PHONES jack of this unit, the 

sound is output from both the headphones and the EXTRA SP 
terminals when “FRONT B” is set to “ZONE B”.

• If a DSP program is selected when “FRONT B” is set to 

“ZONE B”, this unit automatically enters the Virtual CINEMA 
DSP mode (see page 46).

  

PRIORITY
The “PRIORITY” parameter is available only when you 
set “EXTRA SP ASSIGN” to “PRESENCE”.
Use this feature to prioritize either the presence or the 
surround back speakers when playing sources that contain 
surround back channel signals using the CINEMA DSP 
sound field programs.
Choices: PRNS, SUR. B
• Select “PRNS” to use the presence speakers even when 

surround back channel signals are input. The signals 
for the surround back channels will be output from the 
surround speakers.

• Select “SUR. B” to use the surround back speakers 

when surround back channel signals are detected in a 
CINEMA DSP program. The presence channel signals 
are output from the front speakers.
