Help, can't get sound from SB on Marantz SR-7500?

I just finished hooking up my new AVR (Marantz SR-7500) and I am having a problem getting an output from the Surround Back speaker. I have just one SB speaker and set it to this in the Setup Menu, but on the channel test I get no output? The speaker is connected to the SBL speaker output. However I am able to get output to this speaker if I turn the multi-room option on?
Am I over-looking something here?

Any help is appreciated.

Sounds like you have the rears configured for zone 2 rather than zone 1. Is there a config for that in the menu?

No, that was the only way I could get sound out of the rear by enabling the Zone 2 (Multiroom). But I finally got it to work, and this was by resetting the AVR back to original, then manually configuring the speakers. Using the M.R.A.C. won't work for some reason.
Anyway, I have it working now, but would have been nice to use the auto setup.
