Chapter Three: Using Powertouch Iii In Multiple Zones - Kenwood Sovereign VR-5900 User Manual

How Do I Switch Control Modes?
Chapter Three: Using PowerTouch III in
Multiple Zones
The VR-5900 offers dual-zone output and control, which enables you to
use a single receiver to control devices and speakers for 2 zones. Due to
its advanced features and controls, you can listen to music in one zone
while a movie plays in the other!
Depending on your tastes and budget, you can set up one of the follow-
ing "sound scenarios" to make full use of the VR-5900's capabilities:
No additional amplifier for Zone B: You can use the VR-5900's Speaker
B output for Zone B. This allows you to listen to full surround sound in
Zone A only, or in stereo in Zone A when Zone B is active. The sound in
Zone B will always be in stereo.
Stereo amplifier for Zone B: You use an additional stereo amplifier for
Zone B (connected to the VR-5900's Second Zone Preouts). This allows
you to hear full surround sound in Zone A even if you are also listening
in Zone B. The sound in Zone B will always be in stereo.
This chapter covers only multiple-zone operation of the VR-5900. See
Chapter Two for general operating instructions.
