Yamaha RX-V2400 - Manual (Page 76)

ZONE 2/ZONE 3 (U.S.A., CANADA AND AUSTRALIA MODELS ONLY)
72
This unit allows you to configure a multi-room audio-video system. The Zone 2 and Zone 3 features enable you to set
this unit to reproduce separate input sources in the main room, second room (Zone 2) and third room (Zone 3) using the
supplied remote control from the second or third room.
You need the following additional equipment to use the multi-room functions of this unit:
• An infrared signal receiver in the second and/or third room.
• An infrared emitter in the main room. This emitter transmits the infrared signals from the remote control in the second
and/or third room to the main room (to a CD player or LD player, for example).
• An amplifier and speakers for the second and/or third room.
• A video monitor for the second room.
y
• Since there are many possible ways to connect and use this unit
in a multi-room installation, we recommend that you consult
with the nearest authorized YAMAHA dealer or service center
for the Zone 2/Zone 3 connections which will best meet your
requirements.
• Some YAMAHA models are able to connect directly to the
REMOTE CONTROL OUT jack of this unit. If you own these
products, you may not need to use an infrared emitter. Up to 6
YAMAHA components can be connected as shown.
