Using the multi-zone function
The function allows you to connect the unit with a TV or
audio equipment placed in a separate room so that you can
enjoy audio and video of the connected equipment even if
you are staying in a different room. It is possible to perform
playback in the main room and a separate room at the same
time, for example by playing the Blu-ray Disc player in the
main room where the unit is placed while playing Internet
radio in a separate room. It is also possible to perform
playback only in a separate room. There are four methods
to configure multi-zone connection as described in "a" to "d"
below. Simultaneous playback in all zones is also possible.
Zone 2
Zone 3
Main room

Types of source you can enjoy in a separate room:
As
the Zone 2 playback source, you can select from an external
device connected to the HDMI input jack or the analog audio
input jacks (
¼
) of the unit, the "NET" and "USB" sources,
and the "AM" or "FM" source. As the Zone 3 playback
source, you can select from an external device connected to
the analog audio input jacks (
¼
) of the unit, the "NET" and
"USB" sources , and the "AM" or "FM" source.

When you connect a CD player or such other player without HDMI
output jack, connect it to the analog audio input jacks of the unit.
Multi-zone output is not possible if the connection is only with digital
optical cable or digital coaxial cable. In case of analog connection,
analog audio output setting may be necessary on the player.
r As for HDMI input and analog audio input, it is possible
to play the same source or different sources in the main
room and separate room.
r As for the "NET" and "USB", you cannot select different audio
sources for the main room and separate room. For example,
if "NET" has been selected in the main room and then "USB"
is selected as playback source in the separate room, the
input in the main room will change to "USB" accordingly.
r When listening to AM/FM broadcasting, you cannot select
different stations for the main room and separate room. Therefore
broadcasting of the same station will be heard in the both rooms.
r If you play the same HDMI connected player for the main
room and a separate room, the sound field processing for
2 ch PCM signals will be made in the main room.
Outputting Video/Audio to a Separate Room

a. Connecting a TV in a Separate Room Using
HDMI Cable
You can play video and audio of the HDMI connected player
on the TV in a separate room. With an HDMI cable, connect
between the HDMI OUT ZONE 2 jack of the unit and the
HDMI IN jack of the TV in a separate room.
Zone 2
Change the setting: Press Receiver and then Home on the
remote controller, select "Setup" - "1. Input/Output Assign" -
"Monitor Out" - "Zone 2 Monitor Out" and set the setting to
"Use".
r This unit supports the CEC link function with the TV in
a separate room. For details, see "Control Monitor" on
"Using Quick Setup menu".

b. Connecting a TV in a Separate Room Using
Composite Video Cable
Video from the player without HDMI out jack can be
displayed on the TV in a separate room. First, connect
the player to composite video input jack of the unit. Then,
connect the TV in the separate room to ZONE 2 OUT V
jack of the unit using a composite video cable.
Zone 2
r It is not possible to output video from the player to the
TV in the separate room if the player is connected to the
HDMI IN jack or COMPONENT VIDEO IN jack.
r In this connection method, audio from the player cannot
be output from the TV. To output audio in the separate
room, see the next section "Listening to Music in a
Separate Room" and connect the unit to the integrated
amplifier or speakers located in the room where the TV is
placed.
