Step 3: Playing Back
6
Using the multi-zone function
The function allows you to connect the unit with an audio
equipment placed in a separate room so that you can enjoy
audio of the connected equipment even if you are staying
in a different room. It is possible to perform playback in
the main room and a separate room at the same time, for
example by playing the Blu-ray Disc player in the main
room where the unit is placed while playing Internet radio
in a separate room. It is also possible to perform playback
only in a separate room.
• In a separate room, you can enjoy sound from an
external device connected to the analog audio input
jacks of the unit, sound from the "NET", "USB" or
"BLUETOOTH" source, and the AM/FM broadcasting.
• As for analog audio input, it is possible to play the
same source or different sources in the main room and
separate room.
• As for the "NET", "USB" and "BLUETOOTH", you
cannot select different audio sources for the main room
and separate room. For example, if "NET" has been
selected in the main room and then "USB" is selected as
playback source in the separate room, the input in the
main room will change to "USB" accordingly.
• When listening to AM/FM 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.
Connecting with Player
To output audio of the Blu-ray Disc player or such other
player as the source of multi-zone playback, it is necessary
to connect the RCA audio output jacks of the player and the
analog audio input jacks of the unit using the analog audio
(RCA) cable.
AUDIO
OUT
• Output to multi-zone is not possible if the connection is
only with HDMI cable or digital cable.
• Analog audio output setting may be necessary on the
player.
Making Multi-zone Connection
Connecting an Integrated Amplifier in a
separate room
It is possible to play 2 ch source in a separate room while
7.1 ch source is being played in the main room. Connect
the ZONE2 LINE OUT jacks of the unit and the line-in
jacks of the integrated amplifier in a separate room with
an analog audio (RCA) cable. In a separate room, you can
enjoy sound from an external audio device connected to
the analog audio input jacks of the unit, sound from the
"NET", "USB" or "BLUETOOTH" source, and the AM/FM
broadcasting.
Zone 2
• Volume can be adjusted with both the unit and the
integrated amplifier used in a separate room. To adjust it
with the unit, press RCV and then Home on the remote
controller, select "Setup" - "7.Hardware Setup" - "Multi
Zone" - "Zone 2 Out" and set the setting to "Variable".
If you connect a power amplifier, be sure to make the
setting and adjust the volume on this unit.
Connecting speakers in another room
It is possible to directly connect the speakers in another
room without an amplifier. Connect the speakers in another
room to the ZONE2 speaker terminals of the unit using
speaker cables. Note that 5.1 ch will be the maximum in the
main room during Zone 2 playback. In a separate room, you
can enjoy sound from an external audio device connected
to the analog audio input jacks of the unit, sound from the
"NET", "USB" or "BLUETOOTH" source, and the AM/FM
broadcasting.
Change the setting: Press RCV and then Home on the
remote controller, select "Setup" - "2.Speaker Setup" -
"Speaker Settings" and set "Powered Zone2" to "Yes".
