With the Zone 2 function, you can enjoy one input
source in the main room and a different input source in
another room.
There are two ways to hook up your Zone 2 speakers:
1) Use an amp (receiver or integrated amp) in Zone 2 and
connect your Zone 2 speakers to it.
2) Connect your Zone 2 speakers to this AV receiver.
Using an Amp in Zone 2
With this hookup, you can enjoy 7.1-channel playback in
the main room and a different stereo source in Zone 2.
The volume for Zone 2 is set on the other amp.

• Use an RCA audio cable to connect the AV receiver’s
ZONE 2 LINE OUT L/R jacks to an analog audio
input on the amp in Zone 2.
• Connect the Zone 2 speakers to the speaker terminals
on the amp in Zone 2.
