"B" set of Front Speaker Connectors on AV Receivers

You know how most AVR's have Front A and Front B speakers, then an A/B/A+B switch for them? I've been around home theater stuff for a while now, and I haven't ever seen anyone use these. What the hell are they for?

Only potential application I can imagine is stereo sound in another room...

So am I right in assuming that a multizone capable receiver that also has A/B fronts could potentially play audio in three separate rooms/zones? (e.g. 5 ch stereo from Source A in Room 1, 2 ch Stereo from Source A in Room 2, and 2 ch Stereo from Source B in Room 3?)

Unless I'm mistaken, each source can handle one set of speakers. So, you should be able to run audio to two rooms. 🙂

That is correct.


We use the B-set for a pair of outdoor speakers, fyi.

We have an old stereo amp with that, and we have speaker wire running to another room in the hose, so we can have two rooms playing the same thing at the same time.

BTW, Jack and Tabasco over ice is the ******
