Using the MULTI-ZONE feature

MULTI-ZONE listening

This receiver can power up to two independent
systems in separate rooms after you have
made the proper MULTI-ZONE connections. An
example MULTI-ZONE setup is shown below.
AUDIO IN
Different sources can be playing in two zones
at the same time or, depending on your needs,
the same source can also be used. The main
and sub zones have independent power (the
main zone power can be off while the sub zone
is on) and the sub zone can be controlled by
the remote or front panel controls.

Making MULTI-ZONE connections

It is possible to make these connections if you
have a separate speakers for your sub zone
1
(ZONE 2).
You will also need a separate
amplifier for your sub zone.
Note
1 You can't use sound controls (such as the bass/treble controls or Midnight listening) or any surround modes with a separate
amplifier in the sub zone. You can, however, use the features available with your sub zone amplifier.
