Zone 2
In addition to the main listening room, you can also enjoy
playback in another room, or as we call Zone 2. And, you
can select a different source for each room.
Connecting the Zone Speakers to an
Additional Amplifier
This setup allows 5.1-channel playback in your main
listening room and 2-channel stereo playback in Zone 2.
Note
The volume of Zone 2 must be set on the Zone 2 amplifier.
Operating on the AV receiver
Operating on the remote controller
To control Zone 2, you must press ZONE2 on the remote
controller first.
Note
Only analog input sources are output by the ZONE 2 LINE
OUT. Digital input sources are not output. If no sound is heard
when an input source is selected, verify that the source is
connected to an analog input.
You cannot select different AM or FM radio stations for your
main room and Zone 2. The same AM/FM radio station will be
heard in each room. Namely, if you have selected an FM station
for the main room, that station will also be output in Zone 2.
When you have selected NET or USB as the input selector, the
last selector selected will be set for Main room and Zone 2.
When Zone 2 is activated and its input selector is selected, the
power consumption of standby mode slightly increases.
While Zone 2 is on, functions will not work.
When setting the AV receiver to standby mode while Zone 2 is
active, the Z2 indicator is dimly lit.
