MULTI-ZONE setup
This receiver can power up to two independent
systems in separate rooms after you have made
the proper MULTI-ZONE connections.
Different sources can be playing in two zones at
the same time or, depending on your needs, the
same source can also be used. The main and
sub zone have independent power (the main
zone power can be off while sub zone is on) and
the sub zone can be controlled by the remote or
front panel controls.
