MULTI-ZONE listening
This amplifier can power up to three independent systems in separate rooms after you have made the proper MULTI-
ZONE connections. An example MULTI-ZONE setup is shown below, but the number of MULTI-ZONE connections (and
the way you choose to connect them) depends on how you want to set up your system.
Different sources can be playing in three zones at the
same time or, depending on your needs, the same source
can also be used. 1 The main and sub zones have
independent power (the main zone power can be off
while one (or both) of the sub zones is on) and the sub
zones can be controlled by the remote or front panel
controls. However, you may need to specify the volume
settings in
ZONE Audio Setup on page 97.
Making MULTI-ZONE connections
It is possible to make these connections if you have a
separate TV and speakers for your primary (
ZONE 2) sub
zone, and a separate amplifier 2 (and speakers) for your
secondary ( ZONE 3) sub zone. You will also need a
separate amplifier if you selected an option other than
7.2ch+ZONE 2 in the speaker output in Speaker output
setting on page 43 for your primary sub zone. There are
two primary sub zone setups possible with this system.
Choose whichever works best for you.
MULTI-ZONE listening options
The following table shows the signals that can be output
to ZONE 2 and ZONE 3:
