B speaker option

[rosemaryp22]

Hi. I lost my B speaker option on my Pioneer vsx-53tx receiver. Only A appears. B was for my backyard speakers. I had Option A, option A + B, and option B. Now I only have option A appear on the receiver. Anyone know how to get B back?

If your receiver is set to 7.1 you may loose the speaker B option. Set it to 5.1 and it may come back. On some receivers the surround mode has tobe set to stereo or multichannel stereo mode for speaker B to work.
You can get the manual here if you don't have it.
