MULTI-ZONE setup

This receiver can power up to two independent
systems in separate rooms after you have
made the proper MULTI-ZONE connections.
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 zone have independent power (the
main zone power can be off while 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 and TV monitor
the sub zone (ZONE 2). You will also need a
separate amplifier if you are not using the
MULTI-ZONE setup using speaker terminals
(ZONE 2) on page 33 for the sub zone.
