CHAPTER 5
Zone 2 Operation
If you have a pair of speakers in a 
second room or area (Zone 2), they 
can play a stereo source independent 
of whatever is playing in the Home 
Theater room (Main Zone). You can 
also play the same source as selected 
in the Main Zone.
The Zone 2 speakers can be pow-
ered by two of the TGR-401's internal 
ampli ers, if you enable "Powered Z2" 
in the Binding Posts menu. The ampli-
 ers that power the surround-back 
speakers are switched to play the 
Zone 2 speakers instead. An external 
power ampli er can be used to power 
the Zone 2 speakers.
Zone 2 plays stereo sources, and is 
unaffected by the DSP, Sonic Hologra-
phy, surround modes or bass man-
agement. 
Audio Connections
The connections for Zone 2 are 
shown on page 23. 
Note: Zone 2 can play analog 
sources independent of what is play-
ing in the Main Zone. It cannot play 
from a digital-only source unless that 
input is selected and playing in the 
Main Zone. To play a source such as 
a DVD player in Zone 2 independent 
of the Main Zone, make sure you 
connect the player's L-R analog audio 
output to the TGR-401.
Video Connections
Zone 2 has a composite video 
output that can connect to a video 
monitor in your other room. This will 
only play if the selected source also 
has composite video. 
Indicators
The front panel has 
a green LED to show 
the Zone 2 status. 
This LED is always on 
when Zone 2 is on. If 
it is off, there will be 
no output to Zone 2.
Turning on Zone 2
With the remote set to operate the 
TGR-401, press the ZONE 2 button. 
The remote's POWER, VOLUME and 
MUTE buttons then work for Zone 2. 
Note: Zone 2 can also be turned 
on and adjusted without using the 
remote. Press the Zone 2 button on 
the TGR-401 front panel followed by 
Power to turn it on (or off), or adjust 
the input source or volume. After 8 
seconds of inactivity, the front panel 
will revert back to control of the Main 
Zone.
Zone 2 operations will work even if 
the Main Zone is off.
