Advanced Setup – Part 1
S. Back:
If no surround back speakers are used in the main
room, their amplifier channels can be assigned for
other uses, or one of the two channels can drive
one surround back speaker in the main room, while
the other channel can drive a monaural speaker in
another zone.
•Front:
This provides a bi-amp mode for the two main front
speakers, replicating the front left and front right
amplifier channels’ outputs.
•Front B:
Both surround back power amplifier channels can
be used to provide a second set of stereo outputs
that match the front left and right speakers,
providing a Speaker B option for stereo sound in
another location ( page 101).
•ZONE2:
This mode assigns the Surround Back amplifier
channels to provide ZONE2 speaker-level outputs
from the Surround Back speaker terminals, with
the option of monaural or stereo operation
depending on the “Channel Setup” setting.
•ZONE3:
This mode assigns the Surround Back amplifier
channels to provide ZONE3 speaker-level outputs
from the Surround Back speaker terminals, with
the option of monaural or stereo operation
depending on the “Channel Setup” setting.
•SB/Z2:
When only one surround back speaker is used in
the main room (connected to the SBL speaker
terminals), the surround back right amplifier
channel can be used to provide monaural output to
a speaker located in ZONE2.
•SB/Z3:
When only one surround back speaker is used in
the main room (connected to the SBL speaker
terminals), the surround back right amplifier
channel can be used to provide monaural output to
a speaker located in ZONE3.
•Z2/Z3:
When no surround back speakers are used in the
main room, this mode provides monaural sound to
a speaker in ZONE2 connected to the SBL speaker
terminals, with monaural sound to a speaker in
ZONE3 connected to the SBR speaker terminals.
•SB/– – –:
Only the Surround Back Left speaker terminals are
active.
•– – –:
Both Surround Back speaker terminals are inactive.
Front Bi-Amp connections
Certain loudspeakers are equipped with two sets of input
terminals, for bi-amplification. The AVR-4806 Amp Assign
mode allows you to power bi-amp-capable speakers with
two amplifier channels. Be sure to consult the owner’s
manual of your bi-amp-capable speakers for further
information before proceeding.
