Connecting AV Components—Continued

When you play the audio signal from the DIGITAL IN terminals in Zone 2, the source will be downmixed into 2- channel analog audio signal and output to the AUDIO OUT terminals.

When you play the audio signal from the DIGITAL IN terminals in Zone 3, only the PCM signal will be output as an analog source to the AUDIO OUT terminals. Similarly, with this connection, you can record only the PCM signal as an analog source through the AUDIO OUT terminals.

The audio input signal from the HDMI IN terminal can be output to the HDMI OUT terminal.

The audio input signal from the MULTI-CH IN terminals in Zone 2 will be downmixed into a 2-channel source for output. You cannot play the source from the MULTI-CH IN terminals in Zone 3 and record it.
