What you can do with multi-zone features
Enjoying sound in two locations via an analog connection - Zone 2
You can enjoy sound at the same time in another room by connecting the speakers that are
located in another room to the SPEAKERS HEIGHT 1 (ZONE 2) or SURROUND BACK
(FRONT B/BI-AMP/ZONE 2) terminals. For example, you can listen to the same music from an
AV device located in the living room in both the living room and kitchen, or watch a movie in the
living room while music from a different device is played in the kitchen.
The volume can be adjusted separately for each room.
E.g. When the Zone 2 speakers are connected the SPEAKERS HEIGHT 1 (ZONE 2)

Enjoying sound in three locations via an analog connection - Zone 2 + Zone 3
In addition to Zone 2, you can enjoy music at the same time in a third room by connecting a

the same time, or different content can be played in each of the three rooms.
The volume can be adjusted separately for each room.
