Quick Guide for Multi-zone
What is the multi-zone function?
The multi-zone function allows you to play back different input sources in the room
where the unit is installed (main zone) and in another room (Zone2). For example, while
you are watching TV in the living room (main zone), another person can listen to radio in
the study room (Zone2).
Also, you can watch a BD/DVD in another room (Zone2) by connecting a TV to the unit
with HDMI.
This guide explains how to set up a Zone2 system for enjoying audio using the unit’s
internal amplifier.
For more information, refer to the Owner’s Manual in the supplied CD-ROM.
You can select the following input sources for Zone2:
• With the system explained in this guide, audio sources input from the HDMI or digital audio input jacks
cannot be output to Zone2.
• AirPlay is available in Zone2 only when Airplay playback is ongoing in the main zone.
