Connecting the remote zone (Zone 2) speakers
(TX-SR700/700E only)
The TX-SR700/700E allows you to listen to two separate input sources at the same time. This allows you to, for example, place speakers in two different rooms so that two or more people can enjoy two different kinds of music at the same time. The room where the TX-SR700/700E is actually located is referred to as the main room while the separate room is referred to as the remote zone (Zone 2). In addition, the IR IN terminal of the TX-SR700/700E allows you to control the TX-SR700/700E from the remote zone (Zone 2) with the remote controller even though the remote zone is physically separated. The diagram below shows how to make the proper connections for the remote zone.
When using the ZONE 2 SPEAKERS terminals
If you are using a 5.1-channel speaker system in the main room, you can connect the speakers for the remote zone (Zone 2) to the open ZONE 2 SPEAKERS terminals.

When using the ZONE 2 PRE OUT terminals
If you are using a 5.1-channel speaker system in the main room, you can connect the amplifier for the remote zone (Zone 2) to the open ZONE 2 PRE OUT terminals and connect the remote zone speakers.
