Example: 5.1-channels (Surround A+B) and ZONE2 use

Subwoofer 
with built-in 
amplifier

When using just one surround back speaker, connect it to the left channel (SBL).

By default, the AVR-3808CI’s “Amp Assign” setting is set to “ZONE2”. To use as the surround back speaker 
for the main zone, change the “Amp Assign” setting (vpage 68, 69).
