Onkyo HT-R690 instruction manual Making Zone 2 Connections

Zone 2

In addition to the main listening room, you can also enjoy playback in another room, which we call Zone 2. For either of the rooms, you can specify a different input source.

Making Zone 2 Connections

There are two ways you can connect Zone 2 speakers:

1.Connect them directly to the AV receiver.

2.Connect them to an amp in Zone 2.

Connecting Your Zone 2 Speakers Directly to the AV receiver

This setup allows 5.1-channel playback in your main room and 2-channel stereo playback in Zone 2, with a different source in each room. This is called Powered Zone 2, as the Zone 2 speakers are powered by the AV receiver.

To use this setup, you must set the “Powered Zone 2” setting to “Yes” (➔ page 42).
