Fusion 8100: User Manual
Note: The preamp outputs on the Fusion 8100 are configured to deliver the same program
content to each channel as the speaker outputs. When the SBL/SBR Speaker Function Switch
is pressed in, the preamp outputs designated as SBL and SBR will output signals for Surround
Back Left and Surround Back Right (or as Front Left and Front Right Height Speakers, or as
Front Bi-Amp outputs, depending on how they are configured). When this button is out, the
preamp outputs designated as SBL and SBR will output signals for a stereo Zone 2 output.
(This button setting overrides any other configuration settings.)
3. Speaker Outputs (7)
Connect up to seven 4 ohm or 8 ohm speakers to these outputs.
Note: The Fusion 8100 can be configured for either 5.1 or 7.1 surround sound operation. If you
configure the Fusion 8100 for 5.1 channel operation, use the FL, FR, CNT, SL, and SR speaker
outputs (and NOT the SBL and SBR outputs).
Note: These speaker outputs can also be configured as Front Left and Front Right Height
Speakers, or as Bi-Amped outputs for the front speakers.
Note: The SBL and SBR Speaker Outputs may be configured to run as a stereo pair of speakers
operated by Zone 2 (see the Zone Audio Outputs section for details).
