Preparing the multi zone system
Connect the device that will be used in other rooms to the unit.
■ Connecting speakers to play back audio
Connect speakers to play back audio in Zone2 or Zone3. The
connection method varies depending on the amplifier being used
(the unit or an external amplifier).
❑ Using the unit’s internal amplifier
Connect the speakers placed in Zone2 or Zone3 to the unit with
speaker cables. For details, see “Connecting Zone2/3 speakers”
(p.32).
❑ Using an external amplifier
Connect the external amplifier placed in Zone2 or Zone3 to the unit
with a stereo pin cable and connect speakers to the external
amplifier.
• (RX-A3020 only)
You cannot utilize the ZONE OUT/PRE OUT jacks for connecting an external
amplifier for Zone2 or Zone3 depending on the “Power Amp Assign” setting
(p.114) in the “Setup” menu.
Caution
• Remove the unit’s power cable from the AC wall outlet before connecting
speakers or an external amplifier.
• Ensure that the core wires of the speaker cable do not touch one another or
come into contact with the unit’s metal parts. Doing so may damage the unit
or the speakers. If the speaker cables short circuit, “Check SP Wires” will
appear on the front display when the unit is turned on.
