Zone 2

In addition to the main listening room, you can also enjoy playback in another room, which we call Zone 2. For either of
the rooms, you can specify a different input source.

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

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

• With this setup, the volume of Zone 2 is controlled by the AV

receiver.

• Powered Zone 2 cannot be used if “Speakers Type(Front)” is

set to “Bi-Amp” (

page 46).

• When you connect Zone 2 speakers directly to the AV receiver,

listening modes that require surround back speakers, front high
speakers or front wide speakers (6.1/7.1), such as Dolby Digital
EX, DTS-ES, THX Select2 Cinema, Dolby Pro Logic IIz
Height, and Audyssey DSX™ are unavailable.

Connecting the Zone Speakers to an
Additional Amplifier

This setup allows 7.1-channel playback in your main
listening room and 2-channel stereo playback in Zone 2.

Note

• The volume of Zone 2 must be set on the Zone 2 amp.

Making Zone 2 Connections

To use this setup, you must set the “Powered Zone 2”
setting to “Yes” (
