11 MULTI ZONE

Multi-zone playback with multi-source

MULTI ZONE MUSIC ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM

When the outputs of the “ZONE2” OUT terminals are wired and connected to integrated amplifiers installed in other rooms, different sources can be played in rooms other than the main zone in which this unit and the playback devices are installed. (Refer to ZONE2 on the diagram below.)

ZONE 2 SPEAKER OUT and PRE OUT can be used when “ZONE2” is selected at System Setup Menu “Power Amp Assignment”. In this case, Surround Back Speaker Out cannot be used for MAIN ZONE.

When a sold separately room-to-room remote control unit (DENON RC-616, 617 or 618) is wired and connected between the main zone and zone2, the remote-controllable devices in the main zone can be controlled from zone2 using the remote control unit.

NOTES:

For the AUDIO outputs, use high quality pin-plug cords and wire in such a way that there is no humming or noise.

For instructions on installation and operation of separately sold devices, refer to the devices’ operating instructions.

When the main unit is set to the recording output mode, zone2 remote control key cannot be operated.
