MULTI-ZONE setup
This receiver can power up to two independent
systems in separate rooms after you have made
the proper MULTI-ZONE connections.
Different sources can be playing in two zones at
the same time or, depending on your needs, the
same source can also be used. The main and
sub zone have independent power (the main
zone power can be off while sub zone is on) and
the sub zone can be controlled by the remote or
front panel controls.
Making MULTI-ZONE connections
It is possible to make these connections if you
have a separate TV and speakers for the sub
zone (ZONE 2). You will also need a separate
amplifier if you are not using the MULTI-ZONE
setup using speaker terminals (ZONE 2) on page
20 for the sub zone.
MULTI-ZONE listening options
The following table shows the signals that can
be output to ZONE 2:
