Multi zone music entertainment system

• When the outputs of the "ZONE2 (ZONE3)" OUT terminals are wired and connected to power amplifiers installed in other rooms,
different sources can be played in rooms other than the MAIN ZONE in which this unit and the playback devices are installed. (Refer
to ZONE2 (ZONE3) on the diagram below.)
• Settings can be made at "Power Amp Assign" in the "System Setup Menu" so that the same source as the ZONE2 (ZONE3) pre-
out terminals can be played from the speakers connected to the ZONE2 (ZONE3) speaker terminals (
• When a sold separately room-to-room remote control unit (DENON RC-616, 617 or 618) is wired and connected between the MAIN
ZONE and ZONE2 (ZONE3), the remote-controllable devices in the MAIN ZONE can be controlled from ZONE2 (ZONE3) using the
remote control unit.
To control playback devices other than the ones above, either use that device's remote control unit or preset a separately sold
programmable remote control unit.
• For instructions on installation and operation of separately sold devices, refer to the devices' operating instructions.
