Yamaha stereo receivers are similar to many home audio receivers in that they have provisions for powering more than one set of stereo speakers. This lets you connect one pair of speakers in your main listening room, while adding another pair in a secondary location, such as a patio or bedroom. Getting your Yamaha receiver to play both pairs of speakers, the A and B sets, is a simple process.
Instructions
1. Connect both pairs of speakers properly. There will be two sets of speaker outputs on the back of your Yamaha receiver--one labeled "A" and the other "B." Each of these outputs will have two pairs of terminals--one pair for each speaker, labeled "+" and "-." The secondary set of speakers should be connected to the B outputs and the primary set connected to the A outputs.
2. Turn on your Yamaha receiver and set the input of your Yamaha receiver to the music source of your choice, i.e., CD, tuner, or so on.
3. Press the speaker button on the front panel of the receiver to select the speakers you want to power. The button lets you cycle through the speakers, so that you can choose from A, B, A and B, and Off. The display panel of the receiver will show you which selection you've chosen. Set the output to A and B and check to make sure both sets of speakers are playing.
