SYSTEM CONFIGURATIONS

CONFIGURATION 9 – EXTERNAL AMPLIFIER IN A ZONE FOR MULTIPLE LISTENING AREAS

A zone of the ZR-4630 can be set up to contain more than one listening area by adding an external amplifier (i.e., an adjacent living room and dining room area). This configuration is chosen when the speakers included in the zone are not required to be played at separate volume levels or to be ON/OFF separately.

In Figure 13, an external amplifier has been connected to Zone 3. This enables the zone to have an additional lis- tening area with its own dedicated amplifier. Now, with the ZR-4630’s internal amplifier dedicated to one listen- ing area and the external amplifier to the other, greater power is provided to the speakers in both areas.

Important Note: When using preamplifier outputs for zones 4, 5, and 6, the fixed/variable switch must be in the variable position for this configuration.
