Zone 2

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

Connecting Zone 2

There are two ways you can connect Zone 2 speakers:

1.Connect them directly to the AV receiver/AV ampli- fier.

2.Connect them to an amp in Zone 2.

Connecting Your Zone 2 Speakers Directly to the AV receiver/AV amplifier

This setup allows 5.1-channel playback in your main room and 2-channel stereo playback in Zone 2, with a different source in each room. This is called Powered Zone 2, as the Zone 2 speakers are powered by the AV receiver/AV amplifier. Note that when Powered Zone 2 is turned off, you can enjoy 7.1-channel playback in your main room.

To use this setup, you must set the “Powered Zone2” setting to “Act” (see page 98).

Hookup

•Connect your Zone 2 speakers to the AV receiver/AV amplifier’s ZONE 2 L/R speaker terminals.

Zone 2 12V Trigger

When Zone 2 is turned on, the output from the 12V TRIGGER OUT ZONE 2 goes high (+12 volts, 100 mil- liamperes max). Connecting this jack to a 12-volt trigger input on a component in Zone 2 will make that compo- nent turn on or off as and when Zone 2 is turned on or off on the AV receiver/AV amplifier.
