Connecting the remote zone (Zone 2) speakers

The TX-NR900/900E allows you to watch and listen to two separate input sources at the same time. This allows you to, for example, place speakers and a television in two different rooms so that two or more people can enjoy two different movies at the same time. The room where the TX-NR900/900E is actually located is referred to as the main room while the separate room is referred to as the remote zone (Zone 2). In addition, the IR IN/OUT terminal of the TX- NR900/900E allows you to control the TX-NR900/900E from the remote zone (Zone 2) with the remote controller even though the remote zone is physically separated. The diagram below shows how
