This unit allows you to configure a multi-room audio system. The multi-zone configuration feature enables you to set this
unit to reproduce separate input sources in the main room, second room (Zone 2) and third room (Zone 3). You can
control this unit from the second or third room using the supplied remote control.
You need the following additional equipment to use the multi-room functions of this unit:
• An infrared signal receiver in the second and/or third room.
