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.

Both Scenarios: Connecting a Second TV/ Monitor

If you plan to watch movies, or any other visual entertainment 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.
