Connecting the remote zone (Zone 2) speakers

The TX-SR800 allows you to watch and listen to two separate input sources at the same time. This allows you to, for example, place speakers and a television in two different rooms so that two or more people can enjoy two different movies at the same time. The room where the TX-SR800 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/OUT terminal of the TX-SR800 allows you to control the TX-SR800 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 SURR BACK/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 SURR BACK/ZONE 2 SPEAKERS terminals.

With this connection, select “Zone 2” for the Hardware Setup → Surr Back/Zone2 → Surr Back/Zone2 setting in the Setup menu (see page 42).
