Connecting Your Zone 3 Speakers to an
Amp in Zone 3
This setup allows 7.1-channel playback in your main lis-
tening room and 2-channel stereo playback in Zone 3,
with a different source in each room.
Note
• With the default settings, the Zone 3 volume must be set on the
Zone 3 amp. If your Zone 3 amp has no volume control, set the
“Zone3 Out” setting to “Variable” so that you can set the
Zone 3 volume on the AV receiver (➔ 72).
Zone 3 12V Trigger
When Zone 3 is turned on, the output from the ZONE 3
12V TRIGGER OUT goes high (+12 volts, 25 milliam-
peres max). Connecting this jack to a 12-volt trigger input
on a component in Zone 3 will make that component turn
on or off as and when Zone 3 is turned on or off on the AV
receiver.
If you’ve connected your Zone 2 speakers to the AV
receiver, as explained in “Connecting Your Zone 2 Speak-
ers Directly to the AV receiver” (➔ 70), you must set the
“Powered Zone2” setting to “Act” (Activated).
Note
• Powered Zone 2 cannot be used if “Speakers Type(Front)” is
set to “Bi-Amp” (➔ 45).
• This procedure can also be performed on the AV receiver by
using SETUP, arrows, and ENTER.
Connecting Zone 3
Hookup
• Use an RCA audio cable to connect the AV receiver’s
ZONE 3 PRE OUT L/R jacks to an analog audio input on
your Zone 3 amp.
• Connect your Zone 3 speakers to the speaker terminals on
your Zone 3 amp.
