Zone 2 Operation

If you have an amplifi er and a pair of speakers in a second room or area (Zone 2), they can play a stereo source independent of what is playing in the Home Theater room (Main Zone). You can also play the same source as selected in the Main Zone.

Zone 2 plays stereo sources, and is unaffected by the Tone controls, DSP, Holographic Image, surround modes or bass management.

Connections

The connections for Zone 2 are shown on page 24.

Note: Zone 2 can play analog sources independent of what is playing in the Main Zone. It can also play from any digital source as long as that input is selected and playing in the Main Zone. If you want to play a source such as a DVD player in Zone 2, make sure you connect the player's L/R analog audio output to the TGIII. The Main Zone can select the DVD player's digital signal, and Zone 2 can select its stereo analog signals.

Indicators
