Zone 2

In addition to the main listening room, you can also enjoy playback in another room, which we call Zone 2. For either of the rooms, you can specify a different input source.

Making Zone 2 Connections

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.

To use this setup, you must set the “Powered Zone 2” setting to “Yes” (page 46).

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

Powered Zone 2 cannot be used if “Speakers Type(Front)” is set to Bi-Amp (page 46).

When you connect Zone 2 speakers directly to the AV receiver, listening modes that require surround back speakers, front high speakers or front wide speakers (6.1/7.1), such as Dolby Digital EX, DTS-ES, THX Select2 Cinema, Dolby Pro Logic IIz Height, and Audyssey DSX™ are unavailable.

Connecting the Zone Speakers to an Additional Amplifier

This setup allows 7.1-channel playback in your main listening room and 2-channel stereo playback in Zone 2.

Zone 2 12V Trigger

When Zone 2 is turned on, the output from the 12V TRIGGER OUT jack goes high (+12 V and max. 150 mA for Zone 2). Connecting this jack to a 12-volt trigger input on a component in Zone 2 will make that component turn on or off as the AV receiver turns on or off the Zone 2.
