The multi-zone function allows you to play back separate input
sources in the room where this unit is installed (main zone) and
another room (Zone2).
For example, while you are watching a TV in the living room (main
zone), another person can listen to radio in the bedroom (Zone2).
• Only analog audio signals (including radio, USB and network sources) can be
output to Zone2. To listen to playback sounds of an external device in Zone2, you
need to connect the device to the AUDIO jacks (AV5~6, AUDIO1~2 or VIDEO AUX
jacks) of this unit. The party mode (p.72) allows you to enjoy main zone sources in
Zone2 simultaneously regardless of input audio signal types.
Preparing for Zone2
Connect devices to be set in Zone2 to this unit. The connection
method varies depending on an amplifier to use (this unit or
external amplifier).
■
Using the internal amplifier of this unit
Connect the speakers placed in Zone2 to this unit with speaker
cables.
To utilize the EXTRA SP terminals for Zone2 speakers, set “Power
Amp Assign” (p.91) in the “Setup” menu to “7ch +1ZONE” after
connecting the power cable to an AC wall outlet.
• When Zone2 output is enabled (p.71), the surround back speakers in the main
zone do not output sound.

into contact with the metal areas of this unit. This may damage this unit or the
speakers. If the speaker cables short circuit, “CHECK SP WIRES” will appear
on the front display when this unit is turned on.
