ZONE 2

Connecting Zone 2 components

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

The R-S700 can also be operated using the supplied Zone 2 remote control.

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

•An infrared signal receiver for the second room.

•An infrared emitter for the main room. This emitter transmits the infrared signals sent by the remote control in Zone 2 to the components in the main room.

•An amplifier and speakers for the second room.

Some Yamaha models are able to connect directly to the REMOTE OUT jack on the rear panel of this unit. If you own one of these products, you may not need to use an infrared emitter. Up to six Yamaha components can be connected as shown below.

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.
