The multi-zone function allows you to play back different input
sources in the room where the unit is installed (main zone) and in
other rooms (Zone2, Zone3 and Zone4).
For example, while you are watching TV in the living room (main
zone), another person can listen to PC music in the study room
(Zone2), and another can listen to radio in the guest room (Zone3)
and play DVD in the kitchen (Zone4).

Playing back videos/audio in multiple rooms (multi-zone)
• The Zone4 function is available on RX-A3020 only.
• Video/audio signals that can be output to each zone vary depending on how
you connect the device in each zone to the unit’s output jacks. For details, see
“Multi-zone output” (p.157).
• Since there are many possible ways to use the unit in a multi-zone
configuration, we recommend that you consult with your nearest authorized
Yamaha dealer or service center about the multi-zone connections that best
meet your requirements.
