Multi Zone—Continued

Connecting Zone 3

There are two ways you can connect Zone 3 speakers:

1.Connect them directly to the AV receiver.

2.Connect them to an amp in Zone 3.

Connecting Your Zone 3 Speakers Directly to the AV receiver

This setup allows 7.2-channel playback in your main room and 2-channel stereo playback in Zone 3, with a different source in each room. This is called Powered Zone 3, as the Zone 3 speakers are powered by the AV receiver. Note that when Powered Zone 3 is turned off, you can enjoy 9.2-channel playback in your main room.

To use this setup, you must set the “Powered Zone3” setting to “Act” (see page 127).

Hookup

Connect your Zone 3 speakers to the AV receiver’s SURR BACK/ZONE 3 L/R speaker terminals.

Note:

With the default settings, the Zone 3 volume must be set on the Zone 3 amp. If your Zone 3 amp has no volume control, set the “Zone3 Out” setting to “Variable” so that you can set the Zone 3 volume on the AV receiver (see page 128).

Zone 3 12V Trigger

When Zone 3 is turned on, the output from the 12V TRIGGER OUT ZONE 3 goes high (+12 volts, 25 mil- liamperes max). Connecting this jack to a 12-volt trigger input on a component in Zone 3 will make that compo- nent turn on or off as and when Zone 3 is turned on or off on the AV receiver.
