Yamaha RX-V661 User Manual

This unit allows you to configure a multi-zone audio system. The Zone 2 feature allows you to set this unit to reproduce 
separate input sources in the main zone and the second zone (Zone 2). You can control this unit from the second zone 
using the supplied remote control.

You need the following additional equipment to use the multi-zone functions of this unit:
• An infrared signal receiver in the second zone.
• An infrared signal emitter in the main zone. This emitter transmits the infrared signals from the remote control via the 

infrared signal receiver in the second zone to a CD player or a DVD player, etc. in the main zone.

• An amplifier and speakers in the second zone.

y

• Since there are many possible ways to connect and use this unit in a multi-zone configuration, we recommend that you consult with 

your nearest authorized Yamaha dealer or service center about the Zone 2 connections that best meet your requirements.

• Some Yamaha models are able to connect directly to the REMOTE jacks of this unit. If you own these products, you may not need to 

use an infrared signal emitter. Up to 6 Yamaha components can be connected as shown below.

■ Using the external amplifier
Connect the amplifier/receiver in the second zone and other components to this unit as follows.

To avoid unexpected noise, DO NOT USE the Zone 2 feature with CDs encoded in DTS.

Only analog signals are sent to the second zone. Any source you want to listen to in the second zone must be 
connected to the analog AUDIO IN jacks of this unit.
