Specifications
The AVR-989 is compatible with the following types
of playback:
•
Multi-zone playback (ZONE2)
•
Bi-amp playback (front speakers)
NOTE
• For bi-amp playback, use speakers compatible
with that type of connection.
• When conducting bi-amp playback, remove the
short-circuiting boards (or wires) from the speaker

Multi-zone Settings with the Amp Assign Function
The amp assign function lets you assign the amplifiers for the different channels built into the AVR-989 to
the speaker outputs for the different zones.
Select the desired playback environment from among “Setting 1” to “Setting 3”, then set the corresponding
“Amp Assign” mode at menu “Manual Setup” – “Option Setup” – “Amp Assign” (
v
page 32).
Connect the speakers as described at “Amp Assign mode setting and speakers connected to the various
speaker terminals”.
