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 (➔ 72).

Zone 3 12V Trigger

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

If you’ve connected your Zone 2 speakers to the AV receiver, as explained in “Connecting Your Zone 2 Speak- ers Directly to the AV receiver” (➔ 70), you must set the “Powered Zone2” setting to “Act” (Activated).
