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 Zone 3” setting to “Act” (➔ 82).

Hookup

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

Zone 2 12V Trigger

When Zone 2 is turned on, the output from the ZONE 2 12V TRIGGER OUT goes high (+12 volts, 150 milliam- peres max). Connecting this jack to a 12-volt trigger input on a component in Zone 2 will make that component turn on or off as and when Zone 2 is turned on or off on the AV receiver.
