Advanced Setup – Part 1
Setting the Power Amplifier Assignment
•AVR-4806’s power amplifiers for seven channels (except
the front channel), can be assigned to any channels in the
MAIN ZONE, ZONE2 or ZONE3 and output to the speakers.
In this way, power amplifiers not being used in the MAIN
ZONE can be assigned for multi-zone use, the front
speakers can be connected with a “Bi-Amp”, etc., so you
can create the desired speaker system.
The available power amplifier channels that can be re-
assigned may differ, according to settings previously made
in the “Channel Setup” menu ( page 105).

channels to provide ZONE2 speaker-level outputs
from the Surround A speaker terminals, with the
option of monaural or stereo operation depending
on the “Channel Setup” setting.
•ZONE3:
This mode assigns the Surround A amplifier
channels to provide ZONE3 speaker-level outputs
from the Surround A speaker terminals, with the
