Multi Zone

In addition to your main listening room, you can also enjoy playback in the other room, or as we call Multi Zone. And, you can select a different source for each room.

Connecting Zone 2

Zone 2 speakers must be connected to an amp in Zone 2.

Connecting Your Zone 2 Speakers

You can enjoy 2-channel stereo playback in Zone 2 and a different source to those selected for your main room and Zone 3.

Hookup

Use an RCA audio cable to connect the AV controller’s PRE OUT ZONE 2 L/R jacks to an analog audio input on your Zone 2 amp.

Use an RCA audio cable to connect the AV controller’s PRE OUT ZONE 2 SUBWOOFER jack to the line input on a powered subwoofer in Zone 2.

With the default settings, the Zone 2 volume must be set on the Zone 2 amp. If your Zone 2 amp has no volume control, set the “Zone 2 Out” setting to “Variable” so that you can set the Zone 2 volume on the AV controller (76).

Zone 2 Video Output

The AV controller features a composite video output for connection to a TV in Zone 2, so you can enjoy both audio and video in that zone.

Hookup

Use a composite video cable to connect the AV controller’s ZONE 2 OUT V jack to a composite video input on your Zone 2 TV.

Alternatively, use a component video cable to connect the AV controller’s COMPONENT VIDEO ZONE 2 OUT jacks to a component video input on your Zone 2 TV.
