USING MULTI-ZONE CONFIGURATION

This unit allows you to configure a multi-room audio system. The multi-zone configuration feature enables you to set this unit to reproduce separate input sources in the main room and second room (Zone 2). You can control this unit from the second room using the supplied remote control.

Only analog signals are sent to the second and third rooms. Any source you want to listen to in the second or third room must be connected using the analog (AUDIO L/R) input jacks on this unit.

Connecting the Zone 2 components

You need the following additional equipment to use the multi-room functions of this unit:

An infrared signal receiver in the second room.

An infrared emitter in the main room. This emitter transmits the infrared signals from the remote control in the second room to the main room (to a CD player or DVD player, for example).

An amplifier and speakers for the second room.

You do not need an extra amplifier and speakers for the second room if you want to use the internal amplifiers of this unit.

Since there are many possible ways to connect and use this unit in a multi-room configuration, we recommend that you consult with your nearest authorized YAMAHA dealer or service center for the Zone 2 connections that best meet your requirements.
