MX151 Zone B Input and Output Connections
MX151 Zone B Input Connections
MX151 Zone B Output Connections
In a typical MX151 two Zone Audio/Video System,
Source Components can share the same Power Control
(Trigger) and Data Port Connections. The two Zones
in the MX151 also share the same Analog Audio
and Component Video Connections. The additional
Analog Audio and Video Connections below are for
Source Components connected to Zone A via Digital
Connections, as Zone B is Analog Audio/Video only.
The MX151 Zone B Input Connection Diagram
(located on the separate folded sheet “Mc3A”) is an
example of a typical Zone B Second Room System.
Your system may vary from this, however the actual
components would be connected in a similar manner.
For additional information refer to “Connector and
Cable Information” on page 5.
Note: The following connections made to the MX151
are using the default settings. To make changes to
the default settings proceed to Setup Mode start-
ing on page 17.
