Connecting Zone 2 - Onkyo TX-SR707 Instruction Manual

Zone 2—Continued
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

There are two ways you can connect Zone 2 speakers:
1. Connect them directly to the AV receiver.
2. Connect them to an amp in Zone 2.
Connecting Your Zone 2 Speakers Directly
to the AV receiver
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 Zone2"
setting to "Act" (see page 104).
Hookup
• Connect your Zone 2 speakers to the AV receiver's
SURR BACK/ZONE 2 L/R speaker terminals.

Connecting Your Zone 2 Speakers to an

Hookup
• Use an RCA audio cable to connect the AV receiver's
ZONE 2 LINE OUT L/R jacks to an analog audio

Zone 2 12V Trigger
L When Zone 2 is turned on, the output from the 12V
TRIGGER OUT ZONE 2 goes high (+12 volts, 150 mil-
liamperes max). Connecting this jack to a 12-volt trigger
input on a component in Zone 2 will make that compo-
nent turn on or off as and when Zone 2 is turned on or off
on the AV receiver.
