Zone 2
In addition to your main listening room, you can also enjoy playback in the other room, or as we call Zone 2. 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.
Hookup
• Connect your Zone 2 speakers to the AV receiver’s
ZONE 2 SPEAKERS L/R speaker terminals.
Notes:
• With this setup, the Zone 2 volume is controlled by the
AV receiver.
• Powered Zone 2 cannot be used if Speaker Type is set
to Bi-Amp (see page 43).
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.
Hookup
• Use an RCA audio cable to connect the AV receiver’s
ZONE 2 PRE OUT L/R jacks to an analog audio input
on your Zone 2 amp.
• Connect your Zone 2 speakers to the speaker termi-
nals on your Zone 2 amp.
Notes:
• The Zone 2 volume must be set on the Zone 2 amp.
• If you’re using a power amp with no volume control in
Zone 2, you must set the Zone 2 Out setting to Variable
(see page 95).
Connecting Zone 2
To use this setup, you must set the Powered Zone 2
setting to Act (see page 94).
