Different sources can be playing in three zones at the
same time or, depending on your needs, the same source
can also be used.
1
The main and sub zones have
independent power (the main zone power can be off
while one (or both) of the sub zones is on) and the sub
zones can be controlled by the remote or front panel
controls. However, you may need to specify the volume
settings in
ZONE Audio Setup
on page 104.
Making MULTI-ZONE connections
It is possible to make these connections if you have a
separate TV and speakers for your primary (
ZONE 2 ) sub
zone, and a separate amplifier
2
(and speakers) for your
secondary ( ZONE 3 ) sub zone. You will also need a
separate amplifier if you selected an option other than
7.2ch+ZONE 2 in the speaker output in Speaker output
setting
on page 47 for your primary sub zone. There are
two primary sub zone setups possible with this system.
Choose whichever works best for you.
MULTI-ZONE listening options
The following table shows the signals that can be output
to ZONE 2 and ZONE 3:
Basic MULTI-ZONE setup ( ZONE 2 )
1 Connect a separate amplifier to the AUDIO ZONE2
OUT jacks and a TV monitor to the VIDEO ZONE2 OUT
jacks, both on the rear of this receiver.
You should have a pair of speakers attached to the sub
zone amplifier as shown in the following illustration.
2 Connect a separate amplifier to the COAXIAL
ZONE2 OUT digital output on the rear of this receiver.
The amplifier must have an optical digital input to make
this connection. This will allow you to hear the digital
output of a component in a second sub zone.
Note
1 Selecting the HOME MEDIA GALLERY input for Zone 2 or Zone 3 may decrease the quality of the HOME MEDIA GALLERY picture in the main zone.
2 You can’t use sound controls (such as the tone controls or Midnight listening) or any surround modes with a separate amplifier in the sub zone. You can,
however, use the features available with your sub zone amplifier.
