Zone 2 and Zone 3

In addition to your main listening room, you can also enjoy playback in two other rooms, or as we call them, Zone 2 and Zone 3. And, you can select a different source for each room.

Connecting Zone 2

There are two ways you can connect Zone 2 speakers:

1.Connect them directly to the AV receiver.

2.Connect them to an amp in Zone 2.

Connecting Your Zone 2 Speakers Directly to the AV receiver

This setup allows 5.1-channel playback in your main room and 2-channel stereo playback in Zone 2, with a different source in each room. This is called Powered Zone 2, as the Zone 2 speakers are powered by the AV receiver. Note that when Powered Zone 2 is turned off, you can enjoy 7.1-channel playback in your main room.

Hookup

Connect your Zone 2 speakers to the AV receiver’s ZONE 2 L/R speaker terminals.

You must set the Powered Zone 2 setting to Act (Activated) to use this setup (see page 103).

Notes:

With this setup, the Zone 2 volume is controlled by the AV receiver.

On the TX-SR875, Powered Zone 2 cannot be used if the Speaker Type is set to Bi-Amp or BTL (page 45).

Connecting Your Zone 2 Speakers to an Amp in Zone 2

This setup allows 7.1-channel playback in your main lis- tening room and 2-channel stereo playback in Zone 2, with a different source in each room.

Hookup

Use an RCA audio cable to connect the AV receiver’s ZONE 2 PRE OUT L/R jacks to an analog audio input on your Zone 2 amp.

Connect your Zone 2 speakers to the speaker termi- nals on your Zone 2 amp.
