Zone 2 can play stereo analog sources independently of the main zone, or can play the same source. Zone 2 can only play a digital source if the main zone is playing the same source.

Note that Zone 2 has to be enabled before it can be used. Please see page 47 for more details of Zone 2 operation.

This example shows a Sunfire TGA-7400 power amplifier fed from the TGP-5 Zone 2 stereo outputs.

The amplifier is located near the TGP-5, and long speaker wires are run out to your Zone 2 speakers.

These are usually located in another room or area of your house.

The wire from an optional Infrared (IR) sensor is shown connected to the TGP-5 Zone 2 IR input. The TGP-5 is compatible with most makes of IR sensors and equipment.

The sensor can be located in a suitable area of Zone 2, allowing you

complete control of the volume and source selection. Zone 2 can also be controlled from the front panel, using the remote's Zone 2 buttons.

This diagram also shows the TGP-5 12 VDC Zone 2 trigger output con- nected to the 12 VDC trigger input of the Sunfire amplifier. The amplifier automatically turns on whenever Zone 2 is turned on.
