MULTI-ZONE listening

This receiver can power up to three independent systems in separate rooms after you have made the proper MULTI- ZONE connections. An example MULTI-ZONE setup is shown below, but the number of MULTI-ZONE connections (and the way you choose to connect them) depends on how you want to set up your system.

Different sources can be playing in three zones at the same time or, depending on your needs, the same source can also be used. The main and sub zones have independent power (the main zone power can be off while one (or both) of the sub zones is on) and the sub zones can be controlled by the remote or front panel controls. However, you may need to specify the volume settings in ZONE Audio Setup on page 95.

Making MULTI-ZONE connections

It is possible to make these connections if you have a separate TV and speakers for your primary (ZONE 2) sub

zone, and a separate amplifier1 (and speakers) for your secondary (ZONE 3) sub zone. You will also need a separate amplifier if you are not using the MULTI-ZONE setup using speaker terminals (Zone 2) on page 67 for your primary sub zone. There are two primary sub zone setups possible with this system. Choose whichever works best for you.

MULTI-ZONE listening options

The following table shows the signals that can be output to ZONE 2 and ZONE 3:

a.Any analog signal. (This does not apply for the MULTI CH IN and PHONO inputs.)

b.JPEG files cannot be played with the input set to HOME MEDIA GALLERY.

c.The COMPONENT VIDEO ZONE2 OUT jack is only provided on the SC-07.

d.SC-07 only: The video convert function does not work for ZONE 2. Connect the composite video and component video to the same types of jacks for the inputs and outputs.

e.HOME MEDIA GALLERY, XM and SIRIUS cannot be selected for ZONE 3.

Note

1 You can’t use sound controls (such as the tone controls or Midnight listening) or any surround modes with a separate amplifier in the sub zone. You can, however, use the features available with your sub zone amplifier.
