Using the multi-zone function
You can multi-zone connect the unit with an integrated
amplifier and speakers in a separate room and play 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. 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.
 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 inputs 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 RCA cable.

with an RCA cable.
