Multi Zone
In addition to the main listening room, you can also enjoy playback in the other room, or as we call Multi Zone. And, you
can select a different source for each room.
There are two ways you can connect Zone speakers:
1. Connect them directly to the AV receiver.
2. Connect them to an additional amplifier.
Connecting Your Zone 2 Speakers Directly
to the AV receiver
This setup allows you to select different sources for Main
room and Zone 2. This is called Powered Zone, as the
Zone 2 speakers are powered by the AV receiver.
Note
• With this setup, the volume of Zone 2 is controlled by the AV
receiver.
• Powered Zone 2 cannot be used if “Speakers Type (Front)” is
set to “Bi-Amp” (➔ page 47).
• When Powered Zone 2 is used, listening modes that require front
high, front wide or surround back speakers are unavailable.
Connecting the Zone Speakers to an
Additional Amplifier
This setup allows 7.1-channel playback in your main
listening room and 2-channel stereo playback in Zone 2/3.
Note
• With the default settings, the Zone 2/3 volume must be set on the
Zone 2/3 amplifier. If your Zone 2/3 amplifier has no volume
control, change the setting so that you can set the Zone 2/3
volume on the AV receiver.
12V Trigger Out
When Zone 2/3 is turned on, the output from the 12V
TRIGGER OUT jack goes high (+12 V and max. 150 mA
for Zone 2, +12 V and max. 25 mA for Zone 3).
Connecting this jack to a 12-volt trigger input on a
component in Zone 2/3 will make that component turn on
or off as the AV receiver turns on or off the Zone 2/3.
Making Multi Zone Connections
To use this setup, you must activate the Powered
Zone 2 setting (➔ page 47).
