Zone 2

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

Connecting Zone 2

Connecting Your Zone 2 Speakers Directly

This setup allows 5.1-channel playback in your main
room and 2-channel stereo playback in Zone 2, with a
different source in each room. This is called Powered
Zone 2, as the Zone 2 speakers are powered by the AV
receiver. Note that when Powered Zone 2 is turned off,
you can enjoy 7.1-channel playback in your main room.
To use this setup, you must set the "Powered Zone 2"
setting to "Act" (see page 81).
