Using A Dual-Zone Receiver for Two Listening Zones

Most of today's Dolby Digital surround sound receivers include a second zone pre-
amplifier output used to create a second listening zone. Using this output with one
of the SI-1260's BusMatrix

inputs provides amplification for multiple rooms within

a second listening zone as shown in Figure 6.
