Making multi-room connections

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

room, and a separate amplifier1 (and speakers) for your secondary (ZONE 3) sub room. You will also need a separate amplifier if you are not using the Surround Back System setup (see below) for your primary sub room. There are two primary sub room setups possible with this system. Choose whichever works best for you.

Surround Back System multi-room setup (ZONE 2)

You must select MR&S in Surround back speaker setting on page 34 to use this setup. Note that the sound in the sub room will be temporarily interrupted when controlling the main room (for example, changing the input source or starting playback).

Note

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