   I've never used a true surround sound receiver until now (it's still in   
   transit) and I assumed (wrongly I guess) all four speakers would be   
   activated even when using the CD or phono modes.   
      
   I was just interested in hearing CDs and LPs from the front speakers   
   only with a surround set up, the way I've been listening to music for 50   
   years.   
      
   With my previous straight stereo receiver I just had the front speakers   
   hooked up to "A" and the rear speakers hooked up to "B" and I could turn   
   the rear speakers on and off when watching video or listening to CDs   
   accordingly.
