Multi-Zone Playback - Onkyo TX-8160 Instruction Manual

Multi-zone playback

You can listen to audio in a room (called Zone 2) other
than the one where this unit is located (called the main
room).
0 DSD format files cannot be output to Zone 2.
0 With "NET" and "BLUETOOTH", you cannot select
different inputs for the main room and separate room.
For example, if "NET" has been selected in the main
room and then "BLUETOOTH" is selected as playback
source in the separate room, the input in the main
room will change to "BLUETOOTH" accordingly.
Furthermore, you cannot select separate network
services for the main room and a separate room with
the "NET" input.
0 When listening to radio broadcasting, you cannot
select different stations for the main room and
separate room. Therefore broadcasting of the same
station will be heard in the both rooms.
Multi-zone Connection
Connect the ZONE 2 PRE OUT jacks of the unit and the
line-in jacks of the pre-main amplifier in a separate room
