MX121 Zone 2 Input Connections

In a typical MX121 two Zone Audio/Video System,

Source Components can share the same Data Port

Connections. The two Zones of the MX121 also share

the same Analog Audio and Component Video Con-

nections. The additional Analog Audio and Video

Connections below are for Source Components con-

nected to Main Zone via Digital Connections, as Zone

2 is Analog Audio/Video only.

The MX121 Zone 2 Input Connection Diagram (lo-

cated on the separate folded sheet "Mc3A and Mc3B")

is an example of a typical Zone 2 Second Room

System. Your system may vary from this, however the

actual components would be connected in a similar

manner. For additional information refer to "Connec-

tor and Cable Information" on page 6.

Note: The following connections made to the MX121

are using the default settings. To make changes to

the default settings proceed to Setup Mode start-

ing on page 16.

Sensor Connections:

1. Connect the Zone 2 Sensor to a external IR Con-

nection Block and the output of the Connection

Block to the MX121 IR IN Jack.

Note: If there is no external Sensor used for the

Main Zone, a splitter is not needed. Connect

the Zone 2 Sensor directly to the MX121 IR IN

Jack.

Analog Audio Connections:

2. Connect an Audio Cable from the MX121 ANA-

LOG INPUT IN TUNER Jacks to the AM/FM
