Zone 2
In addition to the main listening room, you can also enjoy playback in another room, which we call Zone 2. For either of
the rooms, you can specify a different input source.
Connecting the Zone Speakers to an
Additional Amplifier
This setup allows 5.1-channel playback in your main
listening room and 2-channel stereo playback in Zone 2.
Note
• The volume of Zone 2 must be set on the Zone 2 amp.

Operating on the AV receiver
■
Operating on the remote controller
To control Zone 2, you must press ZONE2 on the remote
controller first.
Note
• With Zone 2, only analog input sources are processed. Digital
input sources are not output. If no sound is heard when an input
source is selected, verify that the source is connected to an
analog input.
• You cannot select different AM or FM radio stations for your
main room and Zone 2. The same AM/FM radio station will be
heard in each room. Namely, if you have selected an FM station
for the main room, that station will also be output in Zone 2.
• When you have selected either NET or USB as the input selector
for the main room, the same one will be set for Zone 2.
• When the input selector of Zone 2 is selected, the power
consumption in standby mode slightly increases.
• While Zone 2 is on, functions will not work.
• When setting the AV receiver to standby mode while Zone 2 is
active, the Z2 indicator is dimly lit.
• Activating Zone 2 in the main room when the listening mode is
set to Pure Audio will automatically switch it to Direct.
