The TX-NR900/900E allows you to watch and listen to two separate
input sources at the same time. This allows you to, for example,
place speakers and a television in two different rooms so that two or
more people can enjoy two different movies at the same time. The
room where the TX-NR900/900E is actually located is referred to as
the main room while the separate room is referred to as the remote
zone (Zone 2). In addition, the IR IN/OUT terminal of the TX-
NR900/900E allows you to control the TX-NR900/900E from the
remote zone (Zone 2) with the remote controller even though the
remote zone is physically separated. The diagram below shows how
to make the proper connections for the remote zone.
When using the ZONE 2 OUT terminals
When you have connected all the speakers for 7.1-channel audio in
the main room, connect the speakers as shown below.
The ZONE 2 OUT terminal is a constant output. Connect to the
LINE input of the amplifier (CD, tape, etc.). Adjust the volume with
the amplifier connected to the ZONE 2 OUT terminal.
1. Connect the TX-NR900/900E to the amplifier for the
remote zone.
2. Connect the remote zone speaker cables to the
speaker terminals on the amplifier.
3. Connect the TX-NR900/900E to the monitor for the
remote zone.
Note:
The ZONE 2 out terminals of the TX-NR900/900E are of a fixed
output level.
