This receiver can power up to two independent
systems in separate rooms after you have
made the proper MULTI-ZONE connections.
Different sources can be playing in two zones
at the same time or, depending on your needs,
the same source can also be used. The main
and sub zones have independent power (the
main zone power can be off while the sub zone
is on) and the sub zone can be controlled by
the remote or front panel controls.

It is possible to make these connections if you
have a separate speakers for your sub zone

You will also need a separate
amplifier for your sub zone.
