field

 program within a sound

settings once you initialize a 

sound

 field program group.

directly to the PRESENCE/ZONE 2(3) speaker 
terminals on the rear panel of this unit.

• Select PRNS to use the internal surround back 

amplifier of this unit if you want to connect your Zone 
2 speakers directly to the PRESENCE/ZONE 2(3) 
speaker terminals on the rear panel of this unit.

terminals on the rear panel of this unit.

• If BI-AMP is set to ON in the ADVANCED SETUP menu, 

SUR, PRNS and BOTH cannot be selected.

time. If BOTH is selected for ZONE2 AMP, for instance, only 
EXT can be selected for ZONE3 AMP and vice versa.

• The Intelligent Power AMP Assign feature of this unit becomes 

in effect in the following cases so that the surround and 
surround back amplifiers of this unit are automatically assigned 
to the main room for the use of the surround back speakers 
connected to the SURROUND BACK speaker terminals in the 
7.1-channel system.
– When ZONE2 AMP and ZONE3 AMP are set to PRNS and 

EXT respectively and Zone 2 is turned off

– When ZONE2 AMP and ZONE3 AMP are set to EXT and 

PRNS respectively and Zone 3 is turned off

• If either ZONE2 AMP or ZONE3 AMP is set to SUR or PRNS, 

the speaker system of the main room is limited to 3.1 or 
2.1-channel playback no matter when Zone 2 or Zone 3 is 
turned off because the SURROUND/ZONE 2(3) speaker 
terminals are used for the zone connection.
