08
Connect a TV monitor to the MULTI-ROOM &
SOURCE MONITOR OUT jacks on the rear of this
receiver.
You should have a pair of speakers attached to the
surround back speaker terminals as shown below.
Sub room
Secondary multi-room setup (ROOM 3)
Connect a separate amplifier to the OUT1 ROOM3
(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 room.
Sub room (ROOM 3)
Note
1 Only one sub room is possible if you connect the OUT1 ROOM3 (ZONE3) digital output to your second sub room.
2 Note that when recording, this also selects the RECOUT input source. See Making an audio or a video recording on page 67 for more on this.
3 If the receiver is in standby, the display is dimmed, and ZONE and your selected sub room(s) continue to show in the display.
4 The tuner cannot be tuned to more than one station at a time. Therefore, changing the station in one room also changes the station in the other room.
Please be careful not to change stations when recording a radio broadcast.
