Using the 12V Trigger
When Zone 2 is turned on, the ZONE 2 12V TRIGGER
OUT outputs 12 volts (100 milliamperes max). By con-
necting this jack to the 12-volt trigger input on, say, a
power amp in Zone 2, that power amp will turn on and
off automatically as and when Zone 2 is turned on and
off on the AV receiver.

Using the Remote Control in Zone 2

To use the remote controller to control the AV receiver
from Zone 2, you'll need one of the following commer-
cially available multiroom remote control kits:
• Multiroom Kits such as those made by Niles and Xan-
tech.
These kits can also be used when the AV receiver is not
in line of sight of the remote controller, for example,
when it's installed inside a cabinet.
