Multiroom Capability

You can use two speaker systems with this AV receiver—a surround-sound speaker system (up to 7.1 channels) in
your main listening room, a stereo speaker system in a second room, or Zone 2, as we call it. And, you can select a
different audio source for each room.
Main Room: In your main listening room, you can enjoy up to 7.1-channel playback (see page 14).
You can enjoy the various listening modes such as Dolby and DTS (see pages 59-65).
* While Powered Zone 2 is being used, playback is reduced to 5.1-channels (see page 82).
Zone 2: In your Zone 2 room, you can enjoy 2-channel stereo playback (see page 82).
* The listening modes cannot be used with Zone 2.
