Connecting an Integrated Amplifier (ZONE 2)

a Analog audio cable
You can enjoy 2 ch audio in the separate room (ZONE 2) while performing
playback in the main room (where this unit is located). Use an analog audio
cable to connect the ZONE 2 PRE/LINE OUT terminal on this unit to the input
jack on an integrated amplifier in the separate room.
• To output audio from an externally connected AV component to ZONE 2,
connect it to any of HDMI IN1 to IN3 jacks. If the AV component is not
equipped with an HDMI jack, use a digital coaxial cable, digital optical
cable or analog audio cable. Also, the audio from externally connected AV
components can be output to ZONE 2 only when the audio is analog or 2 ch
PCM signal. When the AV component is connected to this unit with a digital
coaxial cable or digital optical cable, change the audio output of the AV
component to the PCM output.
