USING MULTI-ZONE CONFIGURATION

Using the internal amplifiers of this unit

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE

The SP1 or SP2 speaker terminals of this Receiver should not be connected to a Passive Loudspeaker Selector Box or more than one loudspeaker per channel.

Connection to a Passive Loudspeaker Selector Box or multiple speakers per channel could create an abnormally low impedance load resulting in amplifier damage. See this owner’s manual for correct usage.

Compliance with minimum speaker impedance information for all channels must be maintained at all times. This information is found on the back panel of your Receiver.

If you want to use one internal amplifier (SP1 or SP2) of this unit

Connect the Zone 2 or Zone 3 speakers directly to the SP1 or SP2 speaker terminals and select either “INT:[SP1]” or “INT:[SP2]” for “Zone2 Amplifier” or “Zone3 Amplifier” (see page 113).

If you want to use two internal amplifiers (both SP1 and SP2) of this unit

Connect the Zone 2 or Zone 3 speakers directly to the SP1 and SP2 speaker terminals and select “Both” for “Zone2 Amplifier” or “Zone3 Amplifier” (see page 113).
