ZONE 2
You can make up a multi-room audio-video system with this unit. With this feature, you can set this unit to reproduce separate input sources
in the main room and second (Zone 2) room using the supplied remote control in the second room.
ONLY ANALOG SIGNALS ARE SENT TO THE SECOND ROOM. FOR ANY SOURCE YOU WISH TO LISTEN TO IN THE
SECOND ROOM, YOU MUST CONNECT THE ANALOG OUTPUT FROM THE SOURCE TO THE CORRESPONDING ANA-
LOG INPUT ON THIS UNIT.
Connections
To use the multi-room functions of this unit, you need the following additional equipment:
• An infrared signal receiver in the second room
• An infrared emitter in the main room
This emitter transmits the infrared signals from the remote control in the second room to the main room (for example, to a CD player or LD
player).
• An amplifier and speakers for the second room
• A video monitor for the second room
Cautions
• Since there are so many ways to connect and use this unit in a
multi-room installation, we recommend that you consult with a
custom installation specialist for the Zone 2 connections which
will best meet your requirements.
• Some Yamaha models are able to connect directly to the RE-
MOTE 1 OUT jacks 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.
■ A sample of system configuration and connections
■ Special considerations when using DTS software
The DTS signal is a digital bitstream. Therefore, if you attempt to send the DTS signal to Zone 2, you will only be able to hear the digital
noise that could damage your loudspeakers.
Due to this characteristic of DTS encoded discs, the following considerations and adjustments need to be made.
For DTS encoded LDs or DVDs
Only 2-channel audio signals may be sent to Zone 2. Set your Laser Disc/DVD player’s left and right outputs to the analog sound track.
For DTS encoded compact discs
DO NOT USE the Zone 2 feature with DTS encoded compact discs.
