Connecting the remote zone (Zone 2) speakers

The DTR-6.4/5.4 allows you to listen to two separate input sources at the same time. This allows you to, for example, place speakers in two different rooms so that two or more people can enjoy two different kinds of music at the same time. The room where the DTR-6.4/5.4 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 terminal of the DTR-6.4/5.4 allows you to control the DTR-6.4/5.4 from the remote zone (Zone 2) with the remote controller even though the remote zone is physically separated (see next page).

The DTR-6.4/5.4 provides you with the following three connection methods to use the remote zone (Zone 2). Choose a method according to your components or purposes.

When you want to enjoy music using the DTR-6.4/5.4 for the main room and the remote zone without additional amplifiers: Connect the speakers for the remote zone to the ZONE2 SPEAKERS terminals. While you play something in the remote zone, only 2ch playback is available for the main room.

When you want to enjoy multichannel playback in the main room while playing something in the remote zone:

Connect the pre-main amplifier to the LINE ZONE2 or PREOUT ZONE2 terminals and then connect the speakers to the pre-main amplifier. For the PREOUT ZONE2 terminals, you may connect the power amplifier instead of the pre-main amplifier.

•When connecting to the LINE ZONE2 terminals: Since the output level from the LINE ZONE2 terminals is fixed, you have to adjust volume level on the pre-main amplifier.

•When connecting to the PREOUT ZONE2 terminals: The volume level adjustment can be made either on the DTR-6.4/5.4 or pre-main amplifier.

When completing your connection, refer to “Enjoying music in the remote zone” on page 49.

When using the ZONE 2 SPEAKERS terminals

1. Connect the speakers for the remote zone (Zone 2) to

the ZONE 2 SPEAKERS terminals.

2. Set the “Hardware Config”setting to “Zone 2”(see page 32).

In this setting, while you use the remote zone (Zone 2),

surround playback will not be available for the main room (2ch

stereo playback only).

When the “Hardware Config” setting is set to “Zone 2” and you

are not using the Zone 2, 6.1-channel playback will be available

for the main room.

When you adjust the volume with the DTR-6.4/5.4, see

When using the ZONE 2 LINE OUT terminals

1.Connect the DTR-6.4/5.4 to the pre-main amplifier for the remote zone.

Connect to the LINE input of the amplifier (CD, tape, etc.).

2.Connect the remote zone speaker cables to the speaker terminals on the amplifier.

3.Adjust the volume with the amplifier.

The ZONE 2 LINE OUT terminals of the DTR-6.4/5.4 are of a fixed output level.
