SETUP
105
This unit allows you to configure a multi-zone audio system. The Zone2 feature allows you to set this unit to reproduce separate input sources in the main zone and the second zone (Zone2). You can
control this unit from the second zone using the supplied remote control.
Connecting Zone2
You need the following additional equipment to use the multi-zone functions of this unit:
•
An infrared signal receiver in the second zone.
•
An infrared signal emitter in the main zone. This emitter transmits infrared signals from the remote control
to a CD player or a DVD player, etc. in the main zone via the infrared signal receiver in the second zone.
•
An amplifier and speakers in the second zone.
■
Using the external amplifier
An amplifier located in the secondary zone can be connected to this unit as shown below.
■
Using the internal amplifier of this unit
Connect the speakers in the second zone to the EXTRA SP jacks directly (
■
Using REMOTE IN/OUT jacks for multi-zone components
This unit is equipped with REMOTE IN and REMOTE OUT jacks. You can use these jacks to control
this unit and other components from Zone2 (
Using multi-zone configuration
Only analog signal can be sent to Zone2. If you want to output sound from Zone2, connect an
external component to AV5-6, AUDIO1-2, or VIDEO AUX by analog connection. For example, if
you want to output sound from an HDMI DVD player in Zone2, you must connect the component to
this unit by both HDMI and analog connections.
Since there are many possible ways to connect and use this unit in a multi-zone configuration, we
recommend that you consult with your nearest authorized Yamaha dealer or service center about the
Zone2 connections that best meet your requirements.
