Using Multi-zone Features
What you can do with the
Multi-zone function
You can enjoy images and sounds from a
device connected to the receiver in a zone
other than the main zone. For example, you
can watch the DVD in the main zone and listen
to the CD in zone 2.
Making a multi-zone connection
Signals from equipment connected to analog input jacks are output through the ZONE 2 VIDEO/
AUDIO OUT or ZONE 2 OUT component jacks. The ZONE 2 VIDEO/AUDIO OUT or ZONE 2
OUT component jacks cannot output the signals from HDMI IN jacks. To output the HDMI signals,
use HDMI ZONE 2 OUT jacks.
Zone 2 connections
1 Outputs sound from speakers in zone 2 using the SURROUND
BACK/FRONT HIGH/FRONT B/ZONE 2 terminals of the receiver.
