Operation
■ Using external amplifiers
When you use the external amplifiers in the Zone 2, Zone 3, and/or Zone 4, connect the external amplifiers to the ZONE OUT jacks of this
unit with the analog audio cables.
• To avoid unexpected noise, DO NOT use the Zone 2/Zone 3 feature with CDs encoded in DTS.
• Adjust the Zone 2/Zone 3 volume by using the amplifier in the second/third room when “Zone2 Volume”, “Zone3 Volume”, or “Zone4 Volume” are set to “Fixed” (see page 91).
■ Using the ZONE DIGITAL OUT (COAXIAL) jack
When you connect an external amplifier in Zone 2 to the ZONE DIGITAL OUT (COAXIAL) jack, you can play back the digital and analog
audio sources in Zone 2.
Audio signal flow for Zone 2
• Even if you set “Zone2 Volume” to “Variable” (see page 91), the volume control on this unit does not function to the output level of the ZONE DIGITAL OUT (COAXIAL) jack.
• When this unit plays back the copy-protected audio files, this unit does not output any audio signals at the ZONE DIGITAL OUT jack.
