Zone 2

In addition to your main listening room, you can also enjoy playback in the other room, or as we call Zone 2. 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.

To use this setup, you must set the “Front High/ Zone2” setting to “Zone2” (➔ 47).

Hookup

•Connect your Zone 2 speakers to the AV receiver’s FRONT HIGH OR ZONE2 L/R speaker terminals.
