Making Connections
Install a Multizone System
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTE: Installing a multizone system typically requires
running cables inside walls. Always comply with the appropriate safety codes
when installing concealed wiring, particularly all applicable building codes.
Failure to do so may present a safety hazard. If you have any doubt about your
ability to work with electrical wiring, hire a licensed electrician or custom
installer to install the multizone system.
NOTE: only the following analog audio sources are available to Zone 2: the internal radio
(fm, Am and SIrIuS, if connected – Avr 3650/Avr 2650 only), an ipod/iphone device
docked in a connected the bridge IIIp, a uSb memory device inserted in the Avr’s uSb
port (Avr 3650/Avr 365 only) and up to three source devices connected to the rear-panel
Analog Audio 1, 2 and 3 connectors.
your Avr offers two different methods of distributing audio to other areas in your home.
each requires different connections:
A. Connect the Zone 2 speakers directly to the Assigned Amp Speaker Output
connectors. Assign the Assigned Amp channels to power the Zone 2 speakers (see
manual Speaker Setup, on page 36). this method allows you to power a single pair of
speakers for Zone 2.
this method offers the benefit of reduced cost and complexity, but your home theater
system will be limited to 5.1 channels – the Avr will automatically downmix the playback
of programs recorded in 6.1 or 7.1 channels to 5.1 channels.
