Install a Multizone System
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTE: Installing a multizone system typically requires
running cables inside walls. Always comply with the appropriate safety codes
when installing concealed wiring, particularly all applicable building codes.
Failure to do so may present a safety hazard. If you have any doubt about
your ability to work with electrical wiring, hire a licensed electrician or custom
installer to install the multizone system.
NOTE: Only the following analog audio sources are available to Zone 2: the internal radio,
an iPod/iPhone device or a USB memory device inserted in the AVR’s USB port and up
to two source devices connected to the rear-panel Analog Audio In 1 and 2 connectors.
Your AVR offers two different methods of distributing audio to other areas in your home.
Each requires different connections:
A. Connect the Zone 2 speakers directly to the Assigned Amp Speaker Output
connectors. Assign the Assigned Amp channels to power the Zone 2 speakers (see
Manual Speaker Setup, on page 36). This method allows you to power a single pair of
speakers for Zone 2.
This method offers the benefit of reduced cost and complexity, but your home theater
system will be limited to 5.1 channels – the AVR will automatically downmix the playback
of programs recorded in 6.1 or 7.1 channels to 5.1 channels.
