MULTI-ZONE setup

This receiver can power up to three independent systems
in separate rooms after you have made the proper MULTI-
ZONE connections.
Different sources can be playing in three zones at the
same time or, depending on your needs, the same source
can also be used. The main and sub zones have
independent power (the main zone power can be off while
one (or both) of the sub zones is on) and the sub zones
can be controlled by the remote or front panel controls.
Note
1 For the INTERNET RADIO (SC-35 only), HOME MEDIA GALLERY (SC-37 only), XM RADIO, SIRIUS and iPod/USB inputs, it is not possible use
the same input in ZONE 2 and ZONE 3 simultaneously.
2 • COMPONENT VIDEO ZONE 2 OUT can be used to output clear images.
• The GUI screen is not displayed if only the COMPONENT VIDEO ZONE 2 OUT jack is connected.
• The video convert function does not work for ZONE 2. Connect the composite video and component video to the same types of jacks for the
inputs and outputs.

Making MULTI-ZONE connections

It is possible to make these connections if you have a
separate TV and speakers for your primary (ZONE 2) sub
zone, and a separate TV and a separate amplifier (and
speakers) for your secondary (ZONE 3) sub zone. You will
also need a separate amplifier if you are not using the
MULTI-ZONE setup using speaker terminals (ZONE 2) on
page 38 for your primary sub zone. There are two primary
sub zone setups possible with this system. Choose
whichever works best for you.
