Surround back speaker setting
• Default setting: Normal
There are several ways you can use the surround back 
speaker channels with this system. In addition to a 
normal home theater setup where they are used for the 
surround back speakers, they can be used for bi-amping 
the front speakers or as an independent speaker system 
in another room.
1
Select ‘Surr Back System’ from the Manual SP 
Setup menu.
See Making receiver settings from the System Setup menu 
on page 90 if you’re not already at this screen.

Select the surround back speaker setting.
• Normal – Select for normal home theater use with 
surround back speakers in your main (speaker 
system A) setup.
• Speaker B – Select to use the (surround back) B 
speaker terminals to listen to stereo playback in 
another room (see Switching the speaker system on 
page 69).
• Front Bi-Amp – Select this setting if you’re bi-
amping your front speakers (see Bi-amping your 
speakers
 on page 21).

speaker terminals for an independent system in
