automatically changes the speakers to be used, depending on the selected sound program (p.71).
• When using front presence and rear presence speakers installed to the ceiling, set "Layout (Front
Presence/Rear Presence)" (p.127) in the "Setup" menu to "Overhead" after connecting the power cable to
an AC wall outlet.
• (RX-A3040 only)
You can make an 11-channel system by using an external power amplifier (p.25).
