ZONE 2/ZONE 3

(U.S.A., CANADA AND AUSTRALIA MODELS ONLY)

This unit allows you to configure a multi-room audio-video system. The Zone 2 and Zone 3 features enable you to set this unit to reproduce separate input sources in the main room, second room (Zone 2) and third room (Zone 3) using the supplied remote control from the second or third room.

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.

Zone 2/Zone 3 connections

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

Since there are many possible ways to connect and use this unit in a multi-room installation, we recommend that you consult with the nearest authorized YAMAHA dealer or service center for the Zone 2/Zone 3 connections which will best meet your requirements.

Some YAMAHA models are able to connect directly to the REMOTE CONTROL OUT jack of this unit. If you own these products, you may not need to use an infrared emitter. Up to 6 YAMAHA components can be connected as shown.
