Multi Zone

In addition to the main listening room, you can also enjoy
playback in the other room, or as we call Multi Zone. And,
you can select a different source for each room.

There are two ways you can connect Zone speakers:
1. Connect them directly to the AV receiver.
2. Connect them to an additional amplifier.

Connecting Your Zone Speakers Directly to
the AV receiver

This setup allows you to select different sources for Main
room and Zone 2/3. This is called Powered Zone, as the
Zone 2/3 speakers are powered by the AV receiver.

Note

• With this setup, the volume of Zone 2/3 is controlled by the AV

receiver.

• When Powered Zone 2 is used, playback in the main room is

reduced to 7.2 channels.

• When Powered Zone 3 is used, playback in the main room is

reduced to 5.2 channels.

Making Multi Zone Connections

To use this setup, you must activate the Powered
Zone 2/3 setting (
