In this case plug the amplifier into the left (L (Single)) terminal only. • The sound from the surround back terminals will depend on how you have configured the Surround back speaker setting on page 36. • To hear sound only from the pre-outs, switch the speaker system to OFF, or simply disconnect any speakers that are connected directly to the receiver. • If you're not using a subwoofer, change the front speaker setting (see Speaker Setting on page 43) to LARGE. MULTI-ZONE listening This receiver can power two independent systems in separate rooms after you have made the proper MULTIZONE connections.1 Different sources can be playing in both zones at the same time or, depending on your needs, the same source can also be used. The main and sub zones have independent power (the main zone power can be off while the sub zone is on) and the sub zone can be controlled by the front panel controls. However, you may need to specify the volume setting in Multi Zone Setup on page 61. Making MULTI-ZONE connections It is possible to make these connections if you have a separate TV and speakers for your sub zone. You will also need a separate amplifier if you are not using the SurrBack System setup (see below). There are two MULTI-ZONE setups possible with this system: Basic MULTI-ZONE setup • Connect a separate amplifier to the MULTI-ZONE & SOURCE jacks and a TV monitor to the MULTIZONE & SOURCE MONITOR OUT jacks, both on the rear of this receiver. You should have a pair of speakers attached to the sub zone amplifier as shown in the illustration below.
