Multi-zone playback with multi-source
MULTI ZONE MUSIC ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM
• When the outputs of the “ZONE2” OUT terminals are wired and connected to integrated amplifiers installed in other rooms, different sources
can be played in rooms other than the main zone in which this unit and the playback devices are installed. (Refer to ZONE2 on the diagram
below.)
• ZONE2 SPEAKER OUT can be used when “ZONE2” is selected at System Setup Menu “Power Amp Assign”.In this case, Surround Back
Speaker OUT cannot be used for MAIN ZONE. (See page 43.)
• When a sold separately room-to-room remote control unit (DENON RC-616, 617 or 618) is wired and connected between the MAIN ZONE and
ZONE2, the remote-controllable devices in the main zone can be controlled from ZONE2 using the remote control unit.
To control playback devices other than the ones above, either use that device’s remote control unit or preset a separately sold programmable
remote control unit.
NOTES:
• For the AUDIO output, use high quality pin-plug cords and wire in such a way that there is no humming or noise.
• For instructions on installation and operation of separately sold devices, refer to the devices’ operating instructions.
• When the PURE DIRECT mode is set for the main zone, no signals are output to the ZONE2 video terminals.
• Signals are output from the ZONE2 video terminals even when ZONE2 is set to “OFF”.
