Enjoying Music In The Remote Zone; Connecting The Remote Zone (Zone 2) Speakers And The Monitor Or Projector - Onkyo TX-NR801 Instruction Manual

Enjoying Music in the Remote Zone

The TX-NR801/TX-NR801E allows you to watch and
listen to two separate input sources at the same time.
This allows you to, for example, place speakers and a
television in two different rooms so that two or more
people can enjoy two different movies at the same time.
The room where the TX-NR801/TX-NR801E is actually
located is referred to as the main room while the separate
room is referred to as the remote zone (Zone 2). In addi-
tion, the IR IN/OUT terminal of the TX-NR801/
TX-NR801E allows you to control the TX-NR801/
TX-NR801E from the remote zone (Zone 2) with the
remote controller even though the remote zone is physi-
cally separated.
Note:
ZONE 2 is analog only. Digital signals are not output.
If no sound is heard from the selected input source,
check if the component is connected to the analog
inputs.
Connecting the Remote Zone (Zone 2)
Speakers and the Monitor or Projector
When you use the 5.1 channel speaker system for the
main room, the unused terminals for the surround back
speaker or the surround back pre out can be used for the
remote zone (Zone 2). Use the SURR BACK/ZONE 2
SPEAKERS terminals when you want to connect the
speakers for the remote zone (Zone 2) directly to the
TX-NR801/TX-NR801E. Use the SURR BACK/ZONE
2 PREOUT terminals when you want to connect the
power amplifier or pre-main amplifier for dynamic
sound.
When using the SURR BACK/ZONE 2 speaker
terminals
Be sure to turn off the power before making connections.
