Zone 2
In addition to the main listening room, you can also enjoy playback in another room, which we call Zone 2. For either of
the rooms, you can specify a different input source.
There are two ways you can connect Zone 2 speakers:
1. Connect them directly to the AV receiver.
2. Connect them to an amp in Zone 2.
Connecting Your Zone 2 Speakers Directly
to the AV receiver
This setup allows 5.1-channel playback in your main room
and 2-channel stereo playback in Zone 2, with a different
source in each room. This is called Powered Zone 2, 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.
• When Powered Zone 2 is used, listening modes that require front
high 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.
Note
• The volume of Zone 2 must be set on the Zone 2 amp.
Making Zone 2 Connections
To use this setup, you must set the “Powered Zone 2”
setting to “Yes” (
➔ page 43).
