Connecting an Integrated Amplier (ZONE 3)
You can enjoy 2 ch audio in the separate room (Zone 3) while performing
playback in the main room (where this unit is located). Use an analog audio
cable to connect the ZONE 3 PRE/LINE OUT jacks on this unit to the input jack
on an integrated amplier in the separate room.
• To output audio from an externally connected AV component to ZONE 3,
use an analog audio cable for connection. Note that ZONE 3 output is not
possible with the connection using a HDMI cable, digital coaxial cable, or
digital optical cable.
Setup
• With speaker combinations ( →p181) 2.1.2 ch, 3.1.2 ch, 4.1.2 ch, or 5.1.2
ch, this function cannot be used when using Bi-AMP or ZONE 2 (ZONE
SPEAKER). However, when a power amplier without a volume control is
connected to the ZONE 3 PRE/LINE OUT terminals, it is possible to use
ZONE 2 (ZONE SPEAKER) and ZONE 3 (ZONE SPEAKER).
• When connecting an integrated amplier that has an external volume
control, set "7. Multi Zone" - "Zone 3" - "Output Level" ( →p137) to "Fixed
(Default Value)" on the Setup menu. If your external amplier does not have
an external volume control please set this at "Variable". If you do not set this,
the volume output will be very loud and there is a danger of damage to the
integrated amplier, speakers, etc.
Note
• ZONE 3 PRE/LINE OUT cannot be used when the connected speaker
conguration is "6.1 ch", "7.1 ch", "6.1.2 ch", "7.1.2 ch", "4.1.4 ch", or "5.1.4 ch".
