The multi-zone function allows you to play back separate input 
sources in the room where this unit is installed (main zone) and 
other rooms (Zone2 and Zone3).
For example, while you are watching a TV in the living room (main 
zone), another person can listen to radio in the bedroom (Zone2), 
and another can listen to PC music in the study room (Zone3).
• Since there are many possible ways to use this unit in a multi-zone configuration, 
we recommend that you consult with your nearest authorized Yamaha dealer or 
service center about the multi-zone connections that best meet your 
requirements.
• Only analog audio signals (including radio, USB and network sources) can be 
output to Zone2 or Zone3. To listen to playback sounds of an external device in 
Zone2 or Zone3, you need to connect the device to the AUDIO jacks of this unit 
with a stereo pin cable. The party mode (p.90) allows you to enjoy main zone 
sources in all zones simultaneously regardless of input audio signal types.
Preparing for Zone2 or Zone3
Connect devices to be set in Zone2 or Zone3 to this unit. The 
connection method varies depending on an amplifier to use (this 
unit or external amplifier).

Using the internal amplifier of this unit

Caution

speakers. If the speaker cables short circuit, “CHECK SP WIRES” will appear
