MULTI-ZONE setup

This receiver can power up to two independent
systems in separate rooms after you have
made the proper MULTI-ZONE connections.
Different sources can be playing in two zones
at the same time or, depending on your needs,
the same source can also be used. The main
and sub zone have independent power (the
main zone power can be off while sub zone is
on) and the sub zone 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 99.

Making MULTI-ZONE connections

It is possible to make these connections if you
have a separate TV and speakers for the sub
zone (ZONE2). You will also need a separate
amplifier if you are not using the MULTI-ZONE
setup using speaker terminals (Zone 2) below
for the sub zone.

MULTI-ZONE listening options

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

Basic MULTI-ZONE setup (Zone 2)

Connect a separate amplifier to the AUDIO
ZONE2 OUT jacks and a TV monitor to the
VIDEO ZONE2 OUT jack, both on this receiver.
You should have a pair of speakers attached to
the sub zone amplifier as shown in the
following illustration.

MULTI-ZONE setup using speaker

Note that the sound in the sub zone will be
temporarily interrupted when controlling the
main zone (for example, changing the input
function or starting playback).

VIDEO
ZONE2 OUT
