Connecting external antennas
To improve FM reception, connect an external FM
antenna to FM UNBAL 75
Ω.
To improve AM reception, connect a 5 m to 6 m (16 ft. to 20
ft.) length of vinyl-coated wire to the AM LOOP terminals
without disconnecting the supplied AM loop antenna.
For the best possible reception, suspend horizontally
outdoors.
MULTI-ZONE setup
This receiver can power up to three independent systems
in separate rooms after you have made the proper MULTI-
ZONE connections.
Different sources can be playing in three zones at the
same time or, depending on your needs, the same source
can also be used. The main and sub zones have
independent power (the main zone power can be off while
one (or both) of the sub zones is on) and the sub zones
can be controlled by the remote or front panel controls.
Making MULTI-ZONE connections
It is possible to make these connections if you have a
separate TV and speakers for your primary (ZONE 2) sub
zone, and a separate TV and a separate amplifier (and
speakers) for your secondary (ZONE 3) sub zone. You will
also need a separate amplifier if you are not using the
MULTI-ZONE setup using speaker terminals (ZONE 2) on
page 33 for your primary sub zone. There are two primary
sub zone setups possible with this system. Choose
whichever works best for you.
MULTI-ZONE listening options
The following table shows the signals that can be output
to ZONE 2 and ZONE 3
1 :
Basic MULTI-ZONE setup (ZONE 2)
• Connect a separate amplifier to the AUDIO ZONE 2
OUT jacks and a TV monitor to the VIDEO ZONE 2 OUT 2
jack, both on this receiver.
You should have a pair of speakers attached to the sub
zone amplifier as shown in the following illustration.
