This unit allows you to configure a multi-zone audio/video system. The multi-zone configuration feature enables you to
set this unit to reproduce separate input sources in the main zone, second zone (Zone 2) and third zone (Zone 3). You can
control this unit from the second or third zone using the supplied remote control.
You need the following additional equipment to use the multi-room functions of this unit:
• An infrared signal receiver in Zone 2 and/or Zone 3.
• An infrared emitter in the main room. This emitter transmits the infrared signals from the remote control in Zone 2
and/or Zone 3 to the main room (to a CD player or DVD player, for example).
• An amplifier and speakers for Zone 2 and/or Zone 3.
• A video monitor for the second room
y
• You do not need an extra amplifier and speakers for Zone 2 and/or Zone 3 if you want to use the internal amplifiers of this unit.
• Since there are many possible ways to connect and use this unit in a multi-zone configuration, we recommend that you consult with
your nearest authorized Yamaha dealer or service center for the Zone 2 and Zone 3 connections that best meet your requirements.
■ Using external amplifiers
To use an external amplifier in Zone 2 or Zone 3, connect the external amplifier to ZONE OUT terminals and select
“EXT” in “Zone2 Amplifier” or “Zone3 Amplifier” (see page 97).
• To avoid unexpected noise, DO NOT use the Zone 2/Zone 3 feature with CDs encoded in DTS.
• Adjust the Zone 2/Zone 3 volume by using the amplifier in the second/third room when “Zone2 Volume” or “Zone3 Volume” are set to
“Fixed” (see page 97).
Using multi-zone configuration
Connect the source component to the analog audio input jacks of this unit to play back the source in Zone 2 or Zone 3.
This unit does not output the audio signals input at the DIGITAL INPUT and HDMI jacks to the ZONE OUT jacks.
