Only analog signal can be sent to Zone2. If you want to output sound from Zone2, connect an
external component to AV1-4, AUDIO1-4 or V-AUX by analog connection. For example, if you
want to output sound from an HDMI DVD player in Zone2, you must connect the component to this
unit by both HDMI and analog connections.

Connecting Zone2

You need the following additional equipment to use the multi-zone functions of this unit:
• An infrared signal receiver in the second zone.
• An infrared signal emitter in the main zone. This emitter transmits infrared signals from the remote control
to a CD player or a DVD player, etc. in the main zone via the infrared signal receiver in the second zone.
• An amplifier and speakers in the second zone.
• A TV in the second zone.
Since there are many possible ways to connect and use this unit in a multi-zone configuration, we
recommend that you consult with your nearest authorized Yamaha dealer or service center about the
Zone2 connections that best meet your requirements.
