Using Multi-Zone Configuration; Connecting Zone2 - Yamaha HTR-6260 Owner's Manual

This unit allows you to configure a multi-zone audio system. The Zone2 feature allows you to set this unit to reproduce
separate input sources in the main zone and the second zone (Zone2). You can control this unit from the second zone
using the supplied remote control.
Only analog signal can be sent to Zone2. If you want to output the sound from Zone2, connect an external component
to AV5-6 or AUDIO1-2 by analog connection. For example, if you want to output sound from an HDMI DVD player
in Zone2, you must connect the component to this unit by both HDMI and analog connections.

Connecting Zone2

You need the following additional equipment to use the
multi-zone functions of this unit:
• An infrared signal receiver in the second zone.
• An infrared signal emitter in the main zone. This emitter
transmits infrared signals from the remote control to a
CD player or a DVD player, etc. in the main zone via
the infrared signal receiver in the second zone.
• An amplifier and speakers in the second zone.
y
• Since there are many possible ways to connect and use this unit in a
multi-zone configuration, we recommend that you consult with your
nearest authorized Yamaha dealer or service center about the Zone2
connections that best meet your requirements.

information for all channels must be maintained at all
times. This information is found on the back panel of
your unit.
