This unit allows you to configure a multi-room audio and video system. The Zone 2 feature enables you to set this unit to
reproduce separate input sources in the main room and in Zone 2 (the second room) simultaneously. You can also control
this unit from the second room using the Zone 2 remote control (sold separately).
You need the following additional equipment to use the multi-room system of this unit:

Some YAMAHA models are able to connect directly to the REMOTE OUT jack on the rear panel of this unit. If you own these
products, you may not need to use an infrared emitter. Up to six YAMAHA components can be connected as shown below.
