Pioneer VSX-919AH-K User Manual

En

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. However, you 
may need to specify the volume settings in 
ZONE Audio Setup on page 99.

It is possible to make these connections if you 
have a separate TV and speakers for the sub 
zone (

ZONE2). You will also need a separate 

amplifier if you are not using the 

setup using speaker terminals (Zone 2) below 
for the sub zone.

MULTI-ZONE listening options
The following table shows the signals that can 
be output to ZONE 2:

ZONE2 OUT jacks and a TV monitor to the 
VIDEO ZONE2 OUT jack, both on this receiver.
You should have a pair of speakers attached to 
the sub zone amplifier as shown in the 
following illustration.

MULTI-ZONE setup using speaker

Note that the sound in the sub zone will be 
temporarily interrupted when controlling the 
main zone (for example, changing the input 
function or starting playback).
