Selecting Zone 2 Or Zone 3 - Yamaha HTR-5990 Owner's Manual

■ Using the internal amplifiers of this unit
If you want to use one internal amplifier (surround or surround back) of this unit
Connect the Zone 2 or Zone 3 speakers directly to the SURROUND/ZONE 2(3) or PRESENCE/ZONE 2(3) speaker
terminals and select either SUR or PRNS for ZONE2 AMP or ZONE3 AMP (see pages 85 and 86).
If you want to use two internal amplifiers (both surround and surround back) of this unit
Connect the Zone 2 or Zone 3 speakers directly to the SURROUND/ZONE 2(3) and PRESENCE/ZONE 2(3) speaker
terminals and select BOTH for ZONE2 AMP or ZONE3 AMP (see pages 85 and 86).
Third room
SURROUND/ZONE 2(3) or PRESENCE/ZONE 2(3) speaker terminals of this Receiver should not be connected to a
Passive Loudspeaker Selector Box or more than one loudspeaker per channel.
Connection to a Passive Loudspeaker Selector Box or multiple speakers per channel could create an abnormally low
impedance load resulting in amplifier damage. See this owner's manual for correct usage.
Compliance with minimum speaker impedance information for all channels must be maintained at all times. This
information is found on the back panel of your Receiver.
