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 zones have independent power 

(the main zone power can be off while the sub zone is on) and 

the sub zone can be controlled by the remote or front panel 

controls.

It is possible to make these connections if you have a separate 

speakers for your sub zone.

•

You can listen to the built-in tuner and other analog audio 

sources in the sub zone.

•

You can’t use sound controls (such as the bass/treble 

controls or Midnight listening) or any surround modes with 

a separate amplifier in the sub zone. You can, however, use 

the features available with your sub zone amplifier.

•

Use this after selecting ZONE 2 for 

setting (VSX-1029 only) on page 57

 on the Home Menu.

For details, see VSX-1029 connection diagram on

You should have a pair of speakers attached to the sub 

zone amplifier as shown.

When the receiver is on, make sure that any operations 

for the sub zone are done while ZONE lights in the 

display. If this is not showing, the front panel controls 

affect the main zone only. If the receiver is in standby, 

the display is dimmed, and ZONE continues to light in

For example, Z2: DVD sends the source connected to the 
DVD

 inputs to the sub room (ZONE 2).

•

If you select TUNER, you can use the tuner controls to 

select a preset station (see 

Saving station presets on 

page 36

 if you’re unsure how to do this). The tuner 

cannot be tuned to more than one station at a time. 

Therefore, changing the station in one zone also 

changes the station in the other zone. Please be 

careful not to change stations when recording a radio 

broadcast.

You can also press 

 

button on the front panel to switch off all output to the 

sub zone.

•

You won’t be able to switch the main zone off completely 

unless you’ve switched off the MULTI-ZONE control first.

•

If you don’t plan to use the MULTI-ZONE feature for a while, 

turn off the power in both the sub and main rooms so that 

this receiver is in standby.
