Manual speaker setup on page 94. However, if 

B is 

selected above, no sound is heard from the subwoofer (the LFE channel is not downmixed).

Surround back speaker setting on page 94 output from the surround back pre-out 

terminals may change.
• All speaker systems (except 

Speaker B connections) are switched off when headphones are connected.

changes the station in the other zone. Please be careful not to change stations when recording a radio broadcast.
