8. CONNECTING XM (only for North America)

• Connect the XM terminal to the XM Mini-Tuner system (sold separately).

Position the XM Mini-Tuner system near a south-facing window to receive the best signal.

When making connections, also refer to the operating instructions of the XM Mini-Tuner system.

• For the best reception, check the signal strength of the XM radio signal with using signal strength display mode, then adjust the position of the XM Mini-Tuner system until "SIGNAL : GOOD" is displayed. (For details, refer to "Displaying XM information" on page 44.)

To listen to XM Satellite Radio, refer to "XM Satellite Radio (only for North America)" on page 42.

9. CONNECTING ROOM 2 OUTS

ROOM 2 playback feature allows you to play a different program source in another room as well as one source in the main room at the same time.

For ROOM 2 playback, connect the ROOM 2 OUT jacks to the amplifier, TV, etc. installed in another room, or connect the ROOM 2 speaker terminals to the speakers.

Because this receiver cannot drive the surround back speakers and the ROOM 2 speakers simultaneously, you should assign their power amplifier correctly depending on how to use them. (For details, refer to "When selecting the AMP ASSIGN" on page 52.)

Notes :

To minimize hum or noise, use high quality connection cords.

You cannot use the digital audio signal for ROOM 2 playback.
