Zone 2
In addition to your main listening room, you can also enjoy playback in a second room referred to as Zone 2. In addition,
you can select a different source for each room.
This setup allows 2-channel playback (with the speaker
set A and B) in your main listening room and 2-channel
stereo playback in Zone 2, with a different source in each
room.

• Use an RCA audio cable to connect the receiver’s
ZONE 2 PRE OUT L/R jacks to an analog audio input

• Connect your Zone 2 speakers to the speaker terminals

Notes:
• The Zone 2 volume must be set on the Zone 2 amp.
