SOURCE MONITOR OUT jacks on the rear of this
receiver.

surround back speaker terminals as shown below.
Sub zone
Secondary MULTI-ZONE setup (ZONE 3)
• Connect a separate amplifier to the OUT1 ZONE3
digital output on the rear of this receiver.
The amplifier must have an optical digital input to make
this connection. This will allow you to hear the digital
output of a component in a second sub zone.
Sub zone (ZONE 3)
Note
1 Only one sub zone is possible if you connect the OUT1 ZONE3 digital output to your second sub zone.
2 When you use ZONE 2, you must set ZONE 2 / RECSEL Setting in the ZONE Audio Setup menu to ZONE 2 (page 69).
3 Note that when recording, this also selects the RECOUT input source. See Making an audio or a video recording on page 73 for more on this.
4 If the receiver is in standby, the display is dimmed, and ZONE and your selected sub zone(s) continue to show in the display.
5 The tuner cannot be tuned to more than one station at a time. Therefore, changing the station in one zone also changes the station in the other zone.
Please be careful not to change stations when recording a radio broadcast.

zone
• ZONE 2&3 ON – Select both sub zones
• ZONE 3 ON – Selects your secondary (ZONE 3) sub
zone
• MULTI ZONE OFF – Switches the MULTI-ZONE

The MULTI-ZONE indicator lights when the MULTI-ZONE
control has been switched ON.
2 Press CONTROL to select the sub zone(s) you want.
If you selected ZONE 2&3 ON above, you can toggle
between ZONE 2 and ZONE 3.
• When the receiver is on,
operations for the sub zone are done while ZONE and
your selected sub zone(s) show in the display. If this
is not showing, the front panel controls affect the
main zone only.
3 Use the INPUT SELECTOR dial to select the source
for the zone you have selected.
For example, ZONE 2 CD-R sends the source connected
to the CD-R inputs to the primary (ZONE 2) sub room.
• If you select TUNER, you can use the TUNER controls
to select a preset station (see Saving station presets
on page 35 if you're unsure how to do this).
