Zone 2

In addition to the main listening room, you can also enjoy playback in another room, or as we call Zone 2. And, you can select a different source for each room.

Making Zone 2 Connections

There are two ways you can connect Zone speakers:

1.Connect them directly to the AV receiver.

2.Connect them to an additional amplifier.

Connecting the Zone Speakers Directly to the AV receiver

This setup allows you to select different sources for Main room and Zone 2. This is called Powered Zone, as the Zone 2 speakers are powered by the AV receiver.

To use this setup, you must activate the Powered Zone 2 setting (➔ page 52).
