Using the multi-zone function
The function allows you to connect the unit with a TV or
audio equipment placed in a separate room so that you can
enjoy audio and video of the connected equipment even if
you are staying in a different room. It is possible to perform
playback in the main room and a separate room at the same
time, for example by playing the Blu-ray Disc player in the
main room where the unit is placed while playing Internet
radio in a separate room. It is also possible to perform
playback only in a separate room. There are four methods to
configure multi-zone connection as described in "a" to "d" in
the right. Simultaneous playback in all zones is also possible.
Main room
Zone 2
Zone 3
The sources from which you can enjoy the sound in
a separate room: For Zone 2, any can be selected from
among an external device connected to the HDMI input jack
or the analog audio input jacks ( ) of the unit, the "NET",
"USB" or "BLUETOOTH" source, and the AM/FM
16
broadcasting. For Zone 3, any can be selected from among
an external device connected to the analog audio input
jacks ( ) of the unit, the "NET", "USB" or "BLUETOOTH"
source, and the AM/FM broadcasting.
When you connect a CD player or such other player without HDMI
output jack, connect it to the analog audio input jacks of the unit.
Multi-zone output is not possible if the connection is only with digital
optical cable or digital coaxial cable. In case of analog connection,
analog audio output setting may be necessary on the player.
As for HDMI input and analog audio input, it is possible
to play the same source or different sources in the main
room and separate room.
As for the "NET", "USB" and "BLUETOOTH", you cannot
select different audio sources for the main room and
separate room. For example, if "NET" has been selected
in the main room and then "USB" is selected as playback
source in the separate room, the input in the main room
will change to "USB" accordingly.
When listening to AM/FM broadcasting, you cannot
select different stations for the main room and separate
room. Therefore broadcasting of the same station will be
heard in the both rooms.
If you play the same HDMI connected player for the main
room and a separate room, the sound field processing
for 2 ch PCM signals will be made in the main room.

see the next section "Listening to Music in a Separate
Room" and connect the unit to the integrated amplifier or
speakers located in the room where the TV is placed.
