Using the multi-zone function
The function allows you to connect the unit with a TV or
audio equipment placed in a separate room so that you can
enjoy audio and video of the connected equipment even if
you are staying in a different room. 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. There are three
methods to configure multi-zone connection as described in
"a" to "c" in the right. Simultaneous playback in all zones is
also possible.
Zone 2
Zone 3
Main room
?In a separate room, you can enjoy sound from an
external device connected to the HDMI input jack (
1) or
the analog audio input jacks (
2) of the unit, sound from
the "NET", "USB" or "BLUETOOTH" source, and the AM/
FM broadcasting.
1
Supported by HDMI IN1 to IN4 and AUX INPUT HDMI/MHL jacks.
2
When you connect a CD player or such other player without HDMI
output jack, connect it to the analog audio input jacks of the unit.
Multi-zone output is not possible if the connection is only with digital
optical cable or digital coaxial cable. In case of analog connection,
analog audio output setting may be necessary on the player.
?As for HDMI input and 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 audio sources 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.
?If you play the same HDMI connected player for the main
room and a separate room, the sound field processing
for 2 ch PCM signals will be made in the main room.
Outputting Video/Audio to a Separate Room
a. Connecting a TV in a Separate Room
You can play video and audio of the HDMI connected
player on the TV in a separate room. With an HDMI cable,
connect between the HDMI OUT ZONE 2 jack of the unit
and the HDMI IN jack of the TV in a separate room.
Zone 2
Change the setting: Press RCV and then HOME on the
remote controller, select "Setup" - "1.Input/Output Assign" -
"Monitor Out" - "Zone 2 Monitor Out" and set the setting to
"Use".
@You can view the information of the connected device on
the TV of Zone 2 by pressing DISPLAY during Zone 2
playback.
@The CEC link function does not work with the TV in a
separate room.

Listening to Music in a Separate Room
b. Connecting an Integrated Amplifier in a
Separate Room
It is possible to play 2 ch source in a separate room while
7.1 ch source is being played in the main room. Connect
the ZONE2 LINE OUT jacks or ZONE3 LINE OUT jacks
of the unit and the line-in jacks of the pre-main amplifier
in a separate room with an analog audio (RCA) cable. In
a separate room, you can enjoy sound from an external
player connected to the HDMI input jack or the analog audio
input jacks of the unit, sound from the "NET", "USB" or
"BLUETOOTH" source, and the AM/FM broadcasting.
Zone 2 Zone 3
A
Volume can be adjusted with both the unit and the pre-
main amplifier used in a separate room. To adjust it with
the unit, press RCV and then HOME on the remote
controller, select "Setup" - "7.Hardware Setup" - "Multi
Zone" - "Zone 2 Out" or "Zone 3 Out" and set the setting
to "Variable". If you connect a power amplifier, be sure to
make the setting and adjust the volume in the main room.
c. Connecting Speakers in a Separate Room
It is possible to directly connect the speakers in another
room without an amplifier. Connect the speakers in another
room to the ZONE2 speaker terminals of the unit using
speaker cables. Note that 5.1 ch will be the maximum in the
main room during Zone 2 playback. In a separate room, you
can enjoy sound from an external player connected to the
HDMI input jack or the analog audio input jacks of the unit,
sound from the "NET", "USB" or "BLUETOOTH" source, and
the AM/FM broadcasting.
Zone 2
Change the setting: Press RCV and then HOME on the
remote controller, select "Setup" - "2.Speaker Setup" -
"Speaker Settings" and set "Powered Zone2" to "Yes".
•
Adjust the volume on this unit. To adjust the volume,
press ZONE2 on the remote controller and adjust with
VOL.
Performing Multi-zone Playback
1.

If you turn the unit to standby during multi-zone playback,
the Z2/Z3 indicators are dimmed and the playback
mode is switched to playback in a separate room only.
Performing steps 1 and 2 while the unit is in standby also
switches the playback mode to playback in a separate
room only.
To control on the main unit: Press ZONE2 or ZONE3 and
within 8 seconds, press the input selector button of the input to
be played in a separate room. To play the same source in the
main room and separate room, press ZONE2 or ZONE3 twice.
To turn off the multi-zone function: Press ZONE2 (or
ZONE3) on the remote controller and press

To control on the main unit, press ZONE2 (or ZONE3) and
within 8 seconds, press OFF.
•
If ZONE 2 or ZONE 3 is on, power consumption during
standby becomes larger than normal.
•
If ZONE 2 or ZONE 3 is turned on when the listening
mode of the main room is Pure Audio, it will automatically
switch to Direct.
•
While ZONE 2 or ZONE 3 is on, the RI linked system
function (interlink between Onkyo components) is disabled.
WHOLE HOUSE MODE: If you press WHOLE
HOUSE MODE while playback is being performed in
the main room, the WHOLE HOUSE MODE is turned
on, "Z2" and "Z3" on the display light at the same
time and the playback sources of all the rooms are
switched to the same source at once.
•
WHOLE HOUSE MODE is effective only for playback
of the external player connected to the analog audio
input jacks.
• This function cannot be used if headphones are
connected or audio is output from the speakers of
the TV.
