ONKYO TX-SR577 Guia Do Utilizador

Zone 2

In addition to your main listening room, you can also enjoy playback in the other room, or as we call Zone 2. And, you
can select a different source for each room.

There are two ways you can connect Zone 2 speakers:
1. Connect them directly to the AV receiver.
2. Connect them to an amp in Zone 2.

Connecting Your Zone 2 Speakers Directly
to the AV receiver

On the TX-SR507, this setup allows 2.1-channel
playback in your main room and 2-channel stereo
playback in Zone 2, with a different source in each room.
On the TX-SR577, this setup allows 5.1-channel
playback in your main room and 2-channel stereo
playback in Zone 2, with a different source in each room.
This is called Powered Zone 2, as the Zone 2 speakers
are powered by the AV receiver. Note that when Powered
Zone 2 is turned off, you can enjoy 7.1-channel playback
in your main room.

Hookup
Connect your Zone 2 speakers to the AV receiver’s
ZONE 2 SPEAKERS L/R speaker terminals.

Notes:
• With this setup, the Zone 2 volume is controlled by the

AV receiver.

• On the TX-SR577, “Powered Zone 2” cannot be used

if “Sp Type” is set to “Bi-Amp” (page 40).

Connecting Your Zone 2 Speakers to an
Amp in Zone 2

Hookup
• Use an RCA audio cable to connect the AV receiver’s

ZONE 2 LINE OUT L/R jacks to an analog audio
input on your Zone 2 amp.

• Connect your Zone 2 speakers to the speaker

terminals on your Zone 2 amp.

Note:
The Zone 2 volume must be set on the Zone 2 amp.

Connecting Zone 2

To use this setup, you must set the “Powered Zone 2”
setting to “Act” (see page 81).
