Connecting Zone 2

With the Zone 2 function, you can enjoy one input
source in the main room and a different source in another
room.
There are two connection methods: using a receiver/inte-
grated amp in Zone 2 or using only a pair of speakers in
Zone 2.
Using a Receiver/Integrated Amp in Zone 2
With this connection method, you can use 7.1 surround
sound in the main room and play a different AV source in
Zone 2. The volume for Zone 2 is set on the receiver/
integrated amp.
• Use an RCA audio cable to connect the AV receiver's
ZONE 2 OUT L/R jacks to an analog audio input on
your receiver/integrated amp.
• Connect the Zone 2 speakers to the speaker terminals
on the receiver/integrated amp.
