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.
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.
Note
• With the default settings, the Zone 2 volume must be set on the
Zone 2 amp. If your Zone 2 amp has no volume control, set the
“
Zone 2 Out
” setting to “
Variable
” so that you can set the Zone
2 volume on the AV receiver.
Note
• This procedure can also be performed on the AV receiver by
using its

Enter
