Zone 2

In addition to the main listening room, you can also enjoy
playback in another room, or as we call Zone 2. And, you
can select a different source for each room.

Making Zone 2 Connections

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 the Zone 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.
To use this setup, you must activate the Powered Zone
2 setting (➔ page 52).
