Multi-zone
ZONE2 Pre-out Connections
• If another power amplifier or pre-main (integrated) amplifier is connected, the ZONE2 pre-out (variable or
fixed level) connectors can be used to play a different program source in ZONE2 the same time (vpage
55 ~ 58).
• When using an S-Video cable or a video cable for connection between the AVR-988 and an input device,
connect to the video connectors.

External Controller
• When using in combination with an RF Remote Controller (RC-7000CI, sold separately) or RF Remote
Receiver (RC-7001RCI, sold separately) two-way communication with an RF Remote Controller is
possible.
The AVR-988’s status information as well as iPod can be browsed watching the RF Remote Controller’s
display. For details, refer to the operating instructions of the respective devices.
• When used in combination with an RF Remote Controller or RF Remote Receiver, make the settings at
menu “Manual Setup” – “Option Setup” – “2Way Remote” – “Used” (vpage 32).
RS-232C connector
This connector is used for an external controller.
b If you wish to control the AVR-988 from
an external controller using the RS-232C
connector, perform the operation below
beforehand.
q Turn om the AVR-988’s power.
w Turn off the AVR-988’s power from the external
controller.
e Check that the AVR-988 is in the standby
mode.
Trigger output jacks
The power of an external device equipped with
a trigger input jack can be turned on and off in
association with operations on the AVR-988. For
details, see menu “Manual Setup” – “Option
Setup” – “Trigger Out” (vpage 32).
• Output: DC 12 V 150 mA MAX.
Check the trigger input conditions of the
connected device.
