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.
There are two ways you can connect Zone 2 speakers:
1. Connect them directly to the AV receiver.
2. Connect them to an amp in Zone 2.
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 L/R speaker terminals.

Notes:
• With this setup, the Zone 2 volume is controlled by the
AV receiver.
• Powered Zone 2 cannot be used if “Speaker Type” is
set to “Bi-Amp” (see page 43).
Connecting Zone 2
