Zone 2
In addition to your main listening room, you can also enjoy playback in the other room, or as we call Multi Zone. And,
you can select a different source for each room.
There are two ways you can connect Zone 2 speakers:
1. Connect them directly to the AV receiver.
2. Connect them to an amp in Zone 2.
Connecting Your Zone 2 Speakers Directly
to the AV receiver
This setup allows 5.1-channel playback in your main room
and 2-channel stereo playback in Zone 2, with a different
source in each room. This is called Powered Zone 2, as the
Zone 2 speakers are powered by the AV receiver. Note that
when Powered Zone 2 is turned off, you can enjoy 7.1-
channel playback in your main room.
Note
• With this setup, the Zone 2 volume is controlled by the AV
receiver.
• Powered Zone 2 cannot be used if “Speakers Type(Front)” is
set to “Bi-Amp” ( ➔ 45).
Connecting Your Zone 2 Speakers to an
Amp in Zone 2
This setup allows 7.1-channel playback in your main lis-
tening room and 2-channel stereo playback in Zone 2,
with a different source in each room.
Note
• The Zone 2 volume must be set on the Zone 2 amp.
Zone 2 12V Trigger
When Zone 2 is turned on, the output from the ZONE 2
12V TRIGGER OUT goes high (+12 volts, 150 milliam-
peres max). Connecting this jack to a 12-volt trigger input
on a component in Zone 2 will make that component turn
on or off as and when Zone 2 is turned on or off on the AV
receiver.
Connecting Zone 2
To use this setup, you must set the “Powered Zone2”
setting to “Act” (
➔ 70).
Hookup
• Connect your Zone 2 speakers to the AV receiver’s FRONT
WIDE/ZONE 2 L/R terminals.
