Chapter Four: Setting Up Multiple Rooms

The VR-4900 and KRF-V9993D offers dual-room output and control, which enables you to use a single receiver to control devices and speakers for two rooms. Due to its advanced features and controls, you can play music in one room while watching a movie in the other!

Depending on your tastes and budget, you can set up one of the following “sound scenarios” to make full use of the Receiver’s capabilities:

No additional amplifier for Room B: You can use the Receiver’s Speaker B output for Room B. This allows you to listen to full surround sound in Room A only, or in stereo in Room A when Room B is active. The sound in Room B will always be in stereo.

Stereo amplifier for Room B: You can use an additional stereo amplifier for Room B (connected to the Receiver’s Second Room Preouts). This allows you to listen to full sur-

round sound in Room A even if you are also listening in Room B. The sound in Room B will always be in stereo.

Multiple rooms require you to run wires and cabling from the primary room (Room A) where your Receiver is installed to another room (Room B) where an IR Receiver (so you can use your PowerTouch to control devices), a second set of speakers, and possibly a second TV/Monitor is installed:
