This unit allows you to configure a multi-room audio 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). You can control
this unit from the second or third room 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 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 DVD player, for example).

• An amplifier and speakers for the second and/or third room.
• A video monitor for the second room.

y

• You do not need an extra amplifier and speakers for the second and/or third room 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-room 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.

• Some YAMAHA models are able to connect directly to the CONTROL OUT jack on this unit. If you own these products, you may not

need to use an infrared emitter. Up to six YAMAHA components can be connected as shown.

Using the external amplifiers

To use an external amplifier in Zone 2, select EXT in Zone2 Amplifier (see page 96).

• When not using the main room, turn down the volume of this unit in the main room. Adjust the Zone 2/Zone 3 volume by using the

amplifier in the second/third room.

• To avoid unexpected noise, DO NOT USE the Zone 2/Zone 3 feature with CDs encoded in DTS.
• Only the analog video signals input at the composite VIDEO jacks on the rear panel of this unit are output at the ZONE 2 VIDEO

OUT jacks. The analog video signals input at the S VIDEO and COMPONENT VIDEO jacks on the rear panel of this unit are not
output at the ZONE 2 VIDEO OUT jacks.

ZONE 2/ZONE 3

Only analog signals are sent to the second and third rooms. Any source you want to listen to in the second or third
room must be connected using the analog (AUDIO L/R) input jacks on this unit.
