Having a brain fart, please answer my simple question? (1 Viewer)

My question concerns the A/B speakers on your receiver. When you are on A, you are using all 5 surround speakers and the sub. My question is on B, does it just use the other two stereo mains and no sub, or does the sub work with the B speakers as well? Thanks

On mine only the front left/right switch out with the A/B mode. The same sub, center, rears stay engaged.

Same here. There is an A main channel and a B main channel. It only affects those main speakers.

Yes I think Paul is correct the A/B switch will change between two pairs of front L&R it should not affect the rears sub or center.

 

[LowellG]

So from what I am reading, that means the sub works, (as well as center/surrounds), with either A or B? Yes/No

Sorry, it's past my bed time, hard to think.

Thanks

 

[Bruce Hedtke]

Yes, Lowell...the subs and surrounds should still work regardless of the A/B switch.

Most likely A and B connect to the same amplifiers. Check your manual and/or the back panel. If it makes note of taking care about impedance when using A and B together, then you know its just two connections to the same place. Therefor processing will not be different in any way regardless of whether you use A, B or both together.
