Playing Back Music In Multiple Rooms (Multi-Zone); Preparing For Zone2 Or Zone3 - Yamaha RX-A1010 Owner's Manual

Playing back music in multiple rooms (multi-zone)

The multi-zone function allows you to play back separate input
sources in the room where this unit is installed (main zone) and
other rooms (Zone2 and Zone3).
For example, while you are watching a TV in the living room (main
zone), another person can listen to radio in the bedroom (Zone2),
and another can listen to PC music in the study room (Zone3).
• Since there are many possible ways to use this unit in a multi-zone configuration,
we recommend that you consult with your nearest authorized Yamaha dealer or
service center about the multi-zone connections that best meet your
requirements.
Living room (main zone)
• Only analog audio signals (including radio, USB and network sources) can be
output to Zone2 or Zone3. To listen to playback sounds of an external device in
Zone2 or Zone3, you need to connect the device to the AUDIO jacks of this unit
with a stereo pin cable. The party mode (p.85) allows you to enjoy main zone
sources in all zones simultaneously regardless of input audio signal types.

Preparing for Zone2 or Zone3

Connect devices to be set in Zone2 or Zone3 to this unit. The
connection method varies depending on an amplifier to use (this
unit or external amplifier).
Caution
• Remove the power cable of this unit from an AC wall outlet before connecting
speakers or an external amplifier.
• Be careful that the core of the speaker cable does not touch anything or come
into contact with the metal areas of this unit. This may damage this unit or the
speakers. If the speaker cables short circuit, "CHECK SP WIRES" will appear
on the front display when this unit is turned on.
