Zone 2
In addition to your main listening room, you can also enjoy playback in the other room, or as we call Zone 2. And, you
can select a different source for each room.
Connecting Your Zone 2 Speakers Directly
to the AV receiver
This setup allows 5.1-channel playback in your main
room and 2-channel stereo playback in Zone 2, with a
different source in each room. This is called Powered
Zone 2, as the Zone 2 speakers are powered by the AV
receiver. Note that when Powered Zone 2 is turned off,
you can enjoy 7.1-channel playback in your main room.
Hookup
Connect your Zone 2 speakers to the AV receiver’s
ZONE 2 SPEAKERS L/R speaker terminals.
Notes:
• With this setup, the Zone 2 volume is controlled by the
AV receive r.
• “Powered Zone 2” cannot be used if “Sp Type” is set
to “Bi-Amp” (page 44).
