Connecting the Amplifier—Continued

Multiroom Connections

You can use three speaker systems with this amplifier—a surround-sound speaker system in your main listening room, Zone 2: a stereo speaker system in a second room, Zone 3: a stereo speaker system in a third room. The following examples are based on using the amplifier with the AV controller, PR-SC5507. For more details, see the instruction manual of the connected component.

Notes:

•Please make sure that your AV controller has the multi-zone capability.

•Once you’ve completed multi-zone connections shown below, you must turn on the AV controller and configure it to enable the multi-zone capability.

•If your AV controller has balanced outputs for multiroom versatility, you can also use the balanced inputs on the amplifier.
