• Select “EXT” if you want to connect your Zone 2
speakers through an external amplifier connected to the
ZONE 2 OUTPUT jacks on the rear panel of this unit.
• Select “INT:Sur.” to use the internal surround amplifier
of this unit if you want to connect your Zone 2 speakers
directly to the PRESENCE/ZONE 2(3) speaker
terminals on the rear panel of this unit.
• Select “INT:PRNS” to use the internal surround back
amplifier of this unit if you want to connect your Zone
2 speakers directly to the PRESENCE/ZONE 2(3)
speaker terminals on the rear panel of this unit.
• Select “INT:Both” to use the internal surround and
surround back amplifiers of this unit if you want to
connect you Zone 2 speakers directly to both the
PRESENCE/ZONE 2(3) and the SURROUND/ZONE
2(3) speaker terminals on the rear panel of this unit.
• If BI-AMP is set to ON in the ADVANCED SETUP menu (see
page 95), there will be no audio output at the selected speaker
terminals although INT:Sur., INT:PRNS and INT:BOTH can be
selected in the GUI menu.
• Zone 2 and Zone 3 cannot use the same amplifier at the same
time. If INT:Both is selected for Zone2 Amplifier, for instance,
only EXT can be selected for Zone3 Amplifier and vice versa.
• The Intelligent Power AMP Assign feature of this unit becomes
in effect in the following cases so that the surround and
surround back amplifiers of this unit are automatically assigned
to the main room for the use of the surround back speakers
connected to the SURROUND BACK speaker terminals in the
7.1-channel system.
– When Zone2 Amplifier and Zone3 Amplifier are set to
INT:PRNS and EXT respectively and Zone 2 is turned off
– When Zone2 Amplifier and Zone3 Amplifier are set to EXT
and INT:PRNS respectively and Zone 3 is turned off
• If either Zone2 Amplifier or Zone3 Amplifier is set to INT:Sur.
or INT:BOTH, Surround (see page 84), Surround Back (see
page 84) and Presence (see page 85) in Speaker Set are all
automatically set to None. As a result, the speaker system of the
main room is limited to 3.1 or 2.1-channel playback no matter
when Zone 2 or Zone 3 is turned off because the SURROUND/
ZONE 2(3) speaker terminals are used for the zone connection.
