Making Connections
B. Connect an external amplifier to the AVR’s Zone 2 Out connectors. this method
offers the benefit of retaining a 7.1-channel home theater in the main room simultaneously
with multizone operation, although it does require an additional component (the Zone 2
amplifier).
we recommend that you place the Zone 2 amplifier in the same room as the Avr so that
you can use a short length of stereo audio cable along with a long run of speaker wire to
the remote room. A long run of stereo audio cable would increase the chance of signal
degradation. depending on your amplifier, distribute the audio signal to a single pair of
speakers or to several pairs placed in different rooms.
