only, or stereo in Zone A if both zones are active. You will
always hear stereo in Zone B. Make the speaker connections
as shown in the illustration under "To Connect Front and
Surround Sound Speakers:" on page 5, being sure to also
connect the Zone B speakers to the SPEAKER B binding
post.
You use an additional stereo amplifier for Zone B. This
allows you to listen to full surround sound in Zone A even
if both zones are active. You will always hear stereo in Zone

Both Scenarios: Connecting a Second TV/
Monitor
If you plan to watch movies, or any other visual entertain-
ment activity in Zone B, you must connect an additional
TV/Monitor. To do so, connect a standard composite video
cable from the Zone B TV to the ZONE B PRE OUT VIDEO
jack.
The above is possible only when the composite signals are
input. See "Video Connections" on page 1.
