Making Connections

This section describes how to connect speakers in the two
zones to support the different scenarios. Before you read
this section, Kenwood recommends reading “Connecting
Your Speakers” on page␣ 4 of this guide. In addition, this
section discusses how to connect a second TV/Monitor and
how to connect an IR Receiver and IR Repeaters. (for U.K.
and U.S. military)

Scenario 1: Surround Sound in Zone A only/Stereo in Zone A and Stereo in Zone B (Using the Receiver’s Speaker B Outputs)

The five amplifiers built into the receiver meet your sound
needs for both zones. The built-in amplifiers allow you to
listen to full surround sound if you are listening in Zone A
only, or stereo in Zone A if both zones are active. You will
always hear stereo in Zone B. Make the speaker connections
as shown in the illustration under “To Connect Front and
Surround Sound Speakers:” on page␣ 5, being sure to also
connect the Zone B speakers to the SPEAKER B binding
post.
You use an additional stereo amplifier for Zone B. This
allows you to listen to full surround sound in Zone A even
if both zones are active. You will always hear stereo in Zone
B. Make the speaker and amplifier connections as shown in
the illustration.

Scenario 2: Surround Sound in Zone A and Stereo in Zone B (Using a Stereo Amplifier in Zone B)

Both Scenarios: Connecting a Second TV/

Monitor

If you plan to watch movies, or any other visual entertain-
ment activity in Zone B, you must connect an additional
TV/Monitor. To do so, connect a standard composite video
cable from the Zone B TV to the ZONE B PRE OUT VIDEO
jack.
The above is possible only when the composite signals are
input.
