Speaker A is typically used for the primary speakersusually, the pair used for television or video.
But what about that secondary set of hookups?
The switches can also be used to compare two different speakers.
Most receivers are designed to safely power both sets of speakers at the same time without any problem.
The owner’s manual is a good reference to check.
It’s also possible to use different sets of stereo speakers for different listening situations.
However, an additional switch is required to do this safely.
