SYSTEM CONFIGURATIONS
CONFIGURATION 9 – EXTERNAL AMPLIFIER IN A ZONE FOR MULTIPLE LISTENING AREAS
Y
ou can set up a zone of the ZR-8630AV to contain more than one listening area by adding an external ampli-
fier (i.e., an adjacent living room and dining room area). Choose this configuration when the speakers in the
zone need not play at separate volume levels or be on/off separately.
In Figure 13, an external amplifier connects to Zone 3. This enables the zone to have an additional listening area
with its own dedicated amplifier. Now, with the internal amplifier of the ZR-8630AV dedicated to one listening
area and the external amplifier to the other, the speakers in both areas receive more power.
Important Note: When using preamplifier outputs in this configuration for zones 4, 5, and 6, set the fixed/vari
-
able switch in the variable position.
