Zone 2 can play stereo analog
sources independently of the Main
Zone, or can play the same source.
Zone 2 can only play a digital source
if the Main Zone is playing the same
source.
Note that Zone 2 has to be enabled
before it can be used. Please see
page 47 for more details of Zone 2
operation.
If you want the TGR-3 speaker-level
outputs to run your Zone 2 speakers,
use the Ampli
fi
er OSD menu, under
the Speaker menu, to set Aux to Zone
2 (see page 41).

Long speaker wires are connected
to the speaker outputs as shown, and
are run out to your Zone 2 speakers.
These are usually located in another
room or area of your house.
If you have an external power
ampli
fi
er to run your Zone 2 speakers,
connect the TGR-3 Zone 2 line-level
stereo outputs to the inputs of your
ampli
fi
er. Connect your Zone 2 speak-
ers to the ampli
fi
er with speaker wire.
The TGR-3 can then be used to power
other speakers, such as the surround
back or side-axis speakers.
The wire from an optional IR sen-
sor is shown connected to the TGR-3
Zone 2 IR input. The TGR-3 is com-
patible with most makes of IR sensors
and equipment.
The sensor can be located in a
suitable area of Zone 2, allowing you
complete control of the volume and
source selection. Zone 2 can also be
controlled from the front panel, using
the remote's Zone 2 buttons.

As an alternative to using the TGR-3's
internal ampli

er. Connect the ampli-

er's line-level inputs to the TGR-3
Zone 2 stereo outputs.
