ZONE 2 (For U.S.A., Canada and Australia models)

You can make up a multi-room audio system with this unit.

Only analog signals are sent to the second room. For any source you want to listen to in the second room, you must connect the analog output jack from the source to the corresponding analog input jack on this unit.

To use the multi-room functions of this unit, you need the following additional equipment:

•An amplifier and speakers for the second room

•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 (for example, to a CD player or DVD player).

y

•Since there are so many 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 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.

Note

•Using the unit in Zone 2 mode affects the signal that the unit outputs from the VCR 2/DVR OUT jacks. Do not use these jacks if you wish to use Zone 2 functionality.

•The ZONE 2 indicator on the front panel display appears when Zone 2 power is on, even if the main unit is in standby mode.

■Special considerations for playing DTS encoded materials

When playing DTS encoded materials, the analog output jacks of the source component may output excessive noise that could damage your speakers. Due to this characteristic of DTS encoded discs, the following considerations and adjustments need to be made.

For LDs or DVDs encoded with DTS

Only 2-channel analog audio signals will be sent to the second room. Set your player’s left and right outputs to the analog soundtrack.

For CDs encoded with DTS

DO NOT USE the Zone 2 feature for CDs encoded with DTS to avoid unexpected noise.
