Making MULTI-ZONE connections
It is possible to make these connections if you have a
separate TV and speakers for your primary (ZONE 2) sub
zone, and a separate amplifier (and speakers) for your
secondary (ZONE 3) sub zone. You will also need a separate
amplifier if you are not using the MULTI-ZONE setup using
speaker terminals (ZONE 2) below for your primary sub
zone. There are two primary sub zone setups possible with
this system. Choose whichever works best for you.
