MULTI-ZONE setup
This receiver can power up to two (VSX-21TXH)/three (VSX-23TXH) independent systems in separate rooms after you have
made the proper MULTI-ZONE connections. An example MULTI-ZONE setup is shown below, but the number of MULTI-
ZONE connections (and the way you choose to connect them) depends on how you want to set up your system.
Different sources can be playing in two (VSX-21TXH)/three
(VSX-23TXH) zones at the same time or, depending on
your needs, the same source can also be used. The main
and sub zone(s) have independent power (the main zone
power can be off while one (or both) of the sub zone(s) is
on) and the sub zone(s) can be controlled by the remote
or front panel controls. However, you may need to specify
the volume settings in ZONE Audio Setup on page 95. 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 amplifier
1 (and speakers) for your
secondary (ZONE 3) sub zone (VSX-23TXH only)). You will
also need a separate amplifier if you are not using the
MULTI-ZONE setup using speaker terminals (ZONE 2) on
page 34 for your primary sub zone. There are two primary
sub zone setups possible with this system. Choose
whichever works best for you.
