This unit allows you to configure a multi-zone audio system. The multi-zone configuration feature enables you to set this
unit to reproduce separate input sources in the main zone, second zone (Zone 2) and third zone (Zone 3). You can control
this unit from the second or third zone using the supplied remote control.
You need the following additional equipment to use the multi-zone functions of this unit:
• An infrared signal receiver in the second zone and/or third zone.
• An infrared signal emitter in the main zone. This emitter transmits the infrared signals from the remote control via the
infrared signal receiver in the second zone and/or third zone to a CD player or a DVD player, etc. in the main zone.
• An amplifier and speakers in the second zone and/or third zone.
y
• 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 Zone 2 and Zone 3 connections that best meet your requirements.
• Some Yamaha models are able to connect directly to the REMOTE jacks of this unit. If you own these products, you may not need to
use an infrared signal emitter. Up to 6 Yamaha components can be connected as shown below.

Using external amplifiers
To use an external amplifier in the second zone and/or third zone, connect the external amplifier to ZONE OUT jacks and
set “AMP” to “EXT” (page 85).
• To avoid unexpected noise, DO NOT use the Zone 2/Zone 3 feature with CDs encoded in DTS.
• Adjust the the second zone and/or third zone volume by using the amplifier in each zone when “VOLUME” are set to “FIX” (page 85).
Using multi-zone configuration
Only analog signals are sent to the second and third zones. Any source you want to listen to in the second zone and
third zone must be connected to the analog AUDIO IN jacks of this unit.
