• You can use the FRONT B speakers as the front speaker system of another zone. Set “EXTRA SP ASSIGN” to “FRONT B” and then 

“FRONT B” to “ZONE B” (see page 72).

• When you use the internal amplifiers for the Zone 2 speakers, you can adjust the volume level and set the initial volume level and 

maximum volume level of the Zone 2 speakers (see page 82).

You can select and control Zone 2 by using the control 
buttons on the front panel or on the remote control. The 
available operations are as follows:
• Selecting the input source of Zone 2
• Tuning into FM or AM when “TUNER” is selected as 

the input source of Zone 2 (see page 50)

• Tuning into XM Satellite Radio when “XM” is selected 

as the input source of Zone 2 (see page 53) (U.S.A. and 
Canada models only)

• Enjoying music stored on your iPod stationed in a 

Yamaha iPod universal dock (such as YDS-10 sold 
separately) connected to the DOCK terminal of this 
unit when “V-AUX” is selected as the input source 
(see page 58)

You must complete each step while the ZONE2 indicator is 
flashing in the front panel display. Otherwise, the Zone 2 mode is 
automatically canceled and this unit returns to the normal 
operation mode. In this case, repeat the Zone 2 selection 
procedure.

The EXTRA SP speaker terminals of this Receiver should not be connected to a Passive Loudspeaker Selector Box or 
more than one loudspeaker per channel.
Connection to a Passive Loudspeaker Selector Box or multiple speakers per channel could create an abnormally low 
impedance load resulting in amplifier damage. See this owner’s manual for correct usage.
Compliance with minimum speaker impedance information for all channels must be maintained at all times. This 
information is found on the back panel of your Receiver.
