Playing Back Music In Multiple Rooms (Multi-Zone); Preparing For Zone2 - Yamaha RX-V671 Owner's Manual

Playing back music in multiple rooms (multi-zone)

The multi-zone function allows you to play back separate input
sources in the room where this unit is installed (main zone) and
another room (Zone2).
For example, while you are watching a TV in the living room (main
zone), another person can listen to radio in the bedroom (Zone2).
Living room (main zone)
• Only analog audio signals (including radio, USB and network sources) can be
output to Zone2. To listen to playback sounds of an external device in Zone2, you
need to connect the device to the AUDIO jacks (AV5~6, AUDIO1~2 or VIDEO AUX
jacks) of this unit.

Preparing for Zone2

Connect devices to be set in Zone2 to this unit. The connection
method varies depending on an amplifier to use (this unit or
external amplifier).
Caution
• Remove the power cable of this unit from an AC wall outlet before connecting
speakers or an external amplifier.
• Be careful that the core of the speaker cable does not touch anything or come
into contact with the metal areas of this unit. This may damage this unit or the
speakers. If the speaker cables short circuit, "CHECK SP WIRES" will appear
on the front display when this unit is turned on.

Using the internal amplifier of this unit

cables.
To utilize the EXTRA SP terminals for Zone2 speakers, set "Power
