REAR-PANEL CONNECTIONS
¡ Surround Back/Multiroom Speaker Outputs:
These speaker terminals are normally used to power
the surround back left/surround back right speakers
in a 7.1 channel system. However they may also be
used to power the speakers in a second zone which
will receive the output selected for a multiroom system.
To change the output fed to these terminals from
the default of the Surround Back speakers to the
Multiroom Output, you must change a setting in the
Advanced Menu of the OSD system. See page 34 for
more information on configuring this speaker output. In
normal surround system use
minals are the surround back left channel positive (+)
and negative (–) connections and the tan and black
terminals are the surround back right positive (+) and
negative (–) terminals
