CHAPTER 5
Zone 2 Operation
If you have an amplifi er and a
pair of speakers in a second room or
area (Zone 2), they can play a stereo
source independent of what is play-
ing in the Home Theater room (Main
Zone). You can also play the same
source as selected in the Main Zone.
Zone 2 plays stereo sources, and
is unaffected by the Tone controls,
DSP, Holographic Image, surround
modes or bass management.
Connections
The connections for Zone 2 are
shown on page 24.
Note: Zone 2 can play analog
sources independent of what is play-
ing in the Main Zone. It can also play
from any digital source as long as
that input is selected and playing in
the Main Zone. If you want to play a
source such as a DVD player in Zone
2, make sure you connect the player's
L/R analog audio output to the TGIII.
The Main Zone can select the DVD
player's digital signal, and Zone 2 can
select its stereo analog signals.
Indicators
The front panel has two LEDs to
show the Zone 2 status:
Zone 2 Power
This LED is
always on
when Zone 2
is on. If it is
off, there will
be no output
to the Zone 2
amplifi er.
Zone 2 Adjust
This turns on whenever the Zone
2 source or volume is being
changed. Note: if this is on, then
any adjustments you make of vol-
ume or input, will affect Zone 2, not
the Main Zone.
In addition to these LEDs, the
front panel display will show the input
and volume adjustment.
