Yamaha RX-V1065 User Guide

This unit allows you to configure a multi-zone audio system. This feature allows you to set this unit to reproduce separate 
input sources in the main zone and the second zone (Zone2). 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 infrared signals from the remote control to a 
CD player or a DVD player, etc. in the main zone via 
the infrared signal receiver in the second 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 Zone2 
connections that best meet your requirements.

• Some Yamaha models can be directly connected to the REMOTE jacks 

of this unit. You may not need use an infrared signal emitter for these 
products. Up to 6 components can be connected using monaural analog 
mini cables or via an IR flashers. For details about connections, see 
“Transmitting/receiving remote control signals” (page 17).

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

• To avoid unexpected noise, DO NOT USE the Zone2 feature with CDs 

encoded in DTS.

Connect the speakers in the second zone to the EXTRA 
SP terminals and then set “Extra Speaker Assignment” to 
“Zone2” (page 56).

y

• You can use the speakers connected to EXTRA SP terminals as the front 

speaker system of another zone.

• When you use the internal amplifiers for the Zone2 speakers, you can 

adjust the volume level and set the initial volume and maximum volume 
of the Zone2 speakers (page 60).

Only analog signal can be sent to the second zone. If you want to output sounds to Zone2, connect an external 
component to the AV5-6, AUDIO1-2 or VIDEO AUX (AUDIO) jacks (by analog connection). For example, if you 
want to output sound from an HDMI DVD player to the second zone, you must connect the HDMI DVD player to this 
unit by both HDMI and analog connections.

Important safety notice
The EXTRA SP terminals of this unit 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 unit.
